What a day for me! I had been thinking how great it would be to see Cedar Waxwings as they are so unique looking. I got lucky!! I saw four land in a dead tree at the edge of a vernal (?) pool along the fringe of the marsh. I had a perfect spot to check them conversing with one another for about 2 minutes.
Had a wonderful afternoon walk today through the deciduous forest, then through a bit of pine, then finally to the edge of a salt marsh.
4 Cedar Waxwings (My first!!!)
2 Northern Flickers
4 Blue Jays
5 Northern Mockingbirds (they are everywhere here...)
American Robins (too many)
Least Flycather
5 Narrow Tailed Seaside Sparrow (pop up sometimes to a piece of brush, and then drop back into the marsh grass (2ft high).
2 Northern Cardinals (M&F)
Boat-tailed Grackle
5-8 American Goldfinch
American Crow (several)
2 Redwing Blackbirds
2 Eastern Kingbirds
Many gulls (still working on how to really ID these guys...)
Thanks for reading!
