[TN-Bird] winter

This weekend my yard, farm, woodlot were all claimed by Robins and Cedar 
Waxwings. They have arrived by the thousands. There is a constant ruckus from 
the Robins underscored by the whirring of the Waxwings as they move nervously 
from spot to spot. This pair of invaders have even claimed the pan on my front 
porch which usually contains sugar water for my honey bees. The recent heavy 
rains have washed away the sugar water leaving a bird bath.The arrival of these 
two species in such numbers has always signaled the heart of winter here in 
southern middle Tennessee, not the coming spring. Never-the-less, a pleasant 
time.
