A lot of the smaller fruit have been eaten in the Ely area and now the waxwings are working on larger crabapples. We will see when they leave but today there were 2 separate flocks along Miners Drive in Ely. One of 66 birds and the other of approximately 170. Ravens are carrying sticks as nest building is underway. Bill Tefft Ely St. Louis County 218-365-6785
