Spring Tidbits

Although the current week has brought few new migrants to SC, the weeks previous brought Great-Crested Flycatcher, our first R-T Hummingbird, and a couple of warblers (Black-and-White, Prairie).

The recent weather, combined with finishing up my semester hasn't resulted in much beyond the typical local birds, but they are beautiful as well. Cedar Waxwings are one of those birds that puzzles me. Their movements seem very random, and they seem to nest in a variety of habitats that are unpredictable. One time this winter there were probably 200 waxwings in a small area on campus, many of which were swarming a holly tree for its remaining berries.
