Highland Rd and Fairbairn – Mar 29 @ 3PM. While trundling (more like leaping and lurching) down to my bird feeder today I noticed a flock of birds, silent but very busy in the shrubbery behind my yard. It was a flock of Cedar Waxwings. Beautiful birds!  Also sighted my first Groundhog in the same area this morning. There is hope yet!
