RE: Waxwings



I have seen in numerous times in Maine during mayfly hatches.  Once on a
small lake the waxwings almost encircled the entire lake, perching on trees

Ken- temple terrace?  One of my old stomping grounds.  recently of Lakeland
via temple terrace.  hope the weather down there is not too hot!
