Taken in the Arboretum. I was counting birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count today, and came across 6 cedar waxwings in a sparsely fruited crabapple.

It was a fabulous day, with temperatures at +10, sunny, very springlike. Walking was not easy, there were huge puddles of melting snow all over the place, and the snow was soggy and soft and easy to sink into. However, it was such a fine day to be outside that wet feet were a minor problem. House finches were singing up a storm, as were cardinals and chickadees, and there were even 7 ring-billed gulls on the melting Canal.
