Abundant Cedar Waxwings

     For the past 2 weeks I have lots of Cedar Waxwings in my Sunnybrook subdivision in Red Deer.


     First there were only 6 to 10 birds. This is the usual amount I see. Then the flock kept getting larger and larger. This week the flock probably amounts to 100. They seem to be eating in mountain ash trees.
  
     These birds are very late nesters and when they do start nesting they take their sweet time. If you blunder into a nest site you usually find more than one nest,
  
     Has anybody else had large Cedar Waxwing flocks this year?

Owl Web Cam Link

    I have placed a link to the web cam on an owl's nest at the Ellis Bird Farm.


    There has been an owl's nest in a large spruce tree at the Ellis Bird Farm for a few years Last year they put a web cam on the nest. the nesting pair of owls was very successful.


    This year they have a better camera and the camera placing is much better.


     Owls are not nesting yet. Owls have been seen at the nest. 


     If you are interested and have time check this nest out.
