At Baskett Slough NWR this morning we found little water, no ducks, no
coots, no Yellow-headed Blackbirds, no stilts, no eagles, only one harrier.
None of that mattered for we found a flock of adult Cedar Waxwings, in
bright breeding colors, in bright sun, busily flycatching from a stubby
bush just a few feet from where we stood, mouths agape.
We saw zero nutria.
The waxwings were catching
--slender-bodies, black bodied flies with apparently four
transparent wings, perhaps coming up from the water after pupating?
