Greetings,

The sun finally came out yesterday evening, and so did the birds.  

A couple of dogwood trees in the back yard came alive with Cedar Waxwings 
feeding on the berries (I hadn't seen any of these birds for a few years), 
along with 4 Eastern Bluebirds, and some warblers (couldn't identify which 
species.  

Looking up into a Pin Oak tree I saw many more of the Waxwings.  They were 
feeding on small acorns.  The Autumn glow of the sun on the changing leaves as 
well as the colorful markings on the feathered feeders was a welcome ending to 
a rainy day.

By the way, did anyone else see the bird that was inside the studios of the CBS 
early show a couple of days ago.  They said it was a finch.  Someone caught it 
and released it outside.  I don't remember ever seeing one of these personally, 
but the bird appeared to be a Golden-Crowned Kinglet.
