There was a report of 100+
Waxwing on Park Drive in Glenfield, which is only about thirty minutes from
home and so I decided I would go and take a look.
When I arrived, it was still miserable
but the sleet was now falling as drizzle.
As I pulled up I saw a party of birds in a tree, which turned out to be
Starlings but when I got out of the car I found a party of Waxwing in a tree in
the opposite direction. They were now on
Dominion Road and so I walked back and got some shelter in a bus shelter, where
I could see the birds. They were
dropping out of the tall tree into a smaller one and then onto the ground where
they were finding berries. When they all
went back to the taller tree I tried to estimate the number and there was
certainly more than 100.
