>> January 22, 2016:   At 10.30 a.m. I noticed a flock of at least 100 =
American Robins in and around the Mountain Ash tree behind our house.  =
Amongst the robins were about 36 Cedar Waxwings.  All were eating the =
red berries on the Mountain Ash, a prolific crop this year. They were =
here most of the day, and ate 80% of the berries.=20
>>=20
>> 4.00 pm:   I checked the tree again, and the 36 Cedar Waxwings were =
still there, along with one Bohemian Waxwing.  Most of the robins had =
left, just 3 or 4 remained.
>>=20
>> 4.30 pm:  The Waxwings were gone, but 40 American Robins were back.
>>=20
>> January 23, 2016, 8.00 am:  I looked out the upper back window, and =
noticed a flock of at least 50 Cedar Waxwings at the top of a wire birch =
tree.  Soon a large number flew to the near-by Mountain Ash tree.  =
Others flew west, probably to the multi-flora rose hips by the stream.  =
5 or 6 robins joined the flock.  All gone by 11 a.m., and the 30-ft. =
tree stripped of berries, except for some on the lower branches.
>>=20
>> February 8, 2016, 9.00 a.m.:  About 25 American Robins in the lower =
branches of the Mountain Ash, there for an hour or so.
>>=20
>> I probably will not make it to the BNS [Blomidon Naturalists Society] =
meeting in Kentville tomorrow night, due to winter driving.  But we are =
enjoying the winter bird sightings!
