--Boundary_(ID_SdWKQpTUIkFmos3rVu6u/Q) Content-type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Hi, Derek et al. -- I think any cedar waxwings around now have been =20 somewhere in the province all winter, since this species is known to =20 be generally a very late arriver in late Spring/early Summer for the =20 migrants. I stand to be corrected on this?? Also they are very well =20= known in appropriate weather to be "flycatchers", i.e., taking short =20 flights after small insects and then returning to a perch to watch =20 for more -- and they very rarely visit feeders, I think.
