Dear All,            Mar 4, 2008
   
    Monday, March 3, some 50-100 Bohemian Waxwings perched in a White 
Ash near the house for 10-15 minutes. They seemed to be knocking a lot 
of snow off of the branches. That 'snow', now that the real snow has 
melted, turns out to be the reddish orange hairy packing of Rose hips 
plus seed (Rosa virginiana I would guess; 5-10 angular pips, often one 
much larger than others).

  About 30 Waxwings, probable BW, visited briefly on Thursday Feb 28, 
but light conditions were too poor to be sure they were not Cedar.

Yours truly, Dave Webster, Kentville
