The Cedar Waxwings are Back

The building owner, where my office is located, planted flowering crab apple trees years ago. Every spring they are covered in small pink blooms. Now all the leaves are gone, but they have bountiful harvest of crab apples.

Yesterday morning, as I parked my car, I noticed a flock of Cedar Waxwings devouring the crab apples. These birds seem to come every year. I don’t know how many there were as they were coming and going and dropping a lot of crab apples on the ground. I would guess there were at least half a hundred.
