[mou] cedar waxwings

[Jim Barrett]

The large Hexagenia mayflies have been hatching and the waxwings are
tuned-in to this annual treat.  I suspect that's what they were after.  The
same can be seen up here around shorelines of lakes and along trout streams.

Bird People,

Is it unusual to see cedar waxwings in South Minneapolis in the summer?
  They have been around since spring migration.  Although mulberries are
ripe locally, I witnessed half dozen circling and hovering,
swallow-like, over Lake Hiawatha's exit into Minnehaha Creek last
evening.  I noted that they were snatching insects on the wing.
