n right.=C2=A0=0A=C2=A0=0AIn the summer, nesting species capture insects to=
provide their growing young a source of protein. This is even true for hum=
mingbirds. As Cedar Waxwings nest later in summer than most species, this i=

lso at this time of year, many species are moulting the worn feathers they=

ones in preparation for the southern migration. This necessitates an incre=
