FLOCK OF CEDAR WAXWINGS IN THE RAMBLE

FLOCK OF CEDAR WAXWINGS IN THE RAMBLE

Lloyd took this shot of what seems to be a coquettish Cedar Waxwing yesterday. He writes

This photo was taken on 3/14/05 just North of Willow Rock. There was a flock of about thirty Waxwings there, eating the fruit of the Sephora tree.

PALE MALE GETS A WOODCOCK!

There was a big Woodcock arrival in the park on Thursday, March 10. [Missed by me, alas. I was in California.]

Lloyd Spitalnik, who took the picture above, writes: I took this photo of an American Woodcock in Charles' Garden [in the parking lot of the Boathouse MW.] There were at least five of them in and around the garden.

At around noon Pale Male snatched an American Woodcock and after being harassed by a Copper's Hawk, flew to the nest and gave Lola a treat.
