I have been wondering recently if a flock of Waxwings or
Robins has appeared in the south-end neighbourhood I walk through on
my way to work. Ten days ago, while walking up Waegwoltic Avenue I
noticed that the snow under several trees was liberally spattered
with what looked like fallen fruits/bird droppings. I assumed that a
large flock of some birds which had been eating hawthorn fruits down
on Conrose Field had perched in those trees; the buds of the trees
themselves were unharmed. On Tuesday 18 Feb. I finally saw a small
flock of about 15 Bohemian Waxwings, the first I had seen in almost
exactly two years. I haven't seen any since.
Common Redpolls are still around here in Halifax. I saw
about twenty at a feeder not far from home this morning.
