** Brian Stone had 16 CEDAR WAXWINGS [Jaseur d’Amérique] enjoying the clinging fruit in his Moncton backyard on Sunday. There were no BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS [Jaseur boréal] among them, although he had seen a few earlier. These would be overwintering birds, as the Cedar Waxwings that migrate south in the fall are not one of the early returning migrants. Some Am. ROBINS [Merle d’Amérique] also joined the dining Cedar Waxwings.

Many of us store some of the fall mountain ash crop in the freezer to have ready for spring robin arrivals. Jane LeBlanc did just that in her St. Martins yard and placed some stored mountain ash berries in a rose bush to have an appreciative robin drop by very promptly.

The late winter and early spring robins are very much capturing folks’ attention. There is just something special about that seasonal symphony.

Anna Tucker continues to enjoy the abundance of robins enjoying the remnants of still clinging fruit around Jones Lake in Moncton. A quiet group of Cedar Waxwings mingle with them.
