Hi Birders,
 
Just a moment ago, one of the fabulous cedar waxwings that have been 
frequenting my hackberry trees for several days here in Charlotte Park, West 
Nashville, Davidson County,  perched on the deck chair just six feet away from 
me.  It 
managed to snatch a beakfull of peanut butter (didn't know THEY ate that) and 
sped away into a hackberry tree when one of my threatening mockingbirds 
immediately chased it away from its "stash."  Dang, no time to grab the camera 
from 
the table behind me to document the event. My hackberry trees are almost 
stripped, so I doubt that I'll see many more cedars.  Maybe this absolutely 
gorgeous creature was so famished that it settled for PB.  I have NEVER seen 
one go 
for PB before in all my 60+ years of birding.
