Memorial Day Weekend Bird Visitation 2023


Last year, at the beginning of Memorial Day Weekend, a flock of Cedar Waxwings appeared on a young alder tree that is growing in the cattail pond I can see from my porch.  This year a Black-headed Grosbeak appeared at the suet feeder attached to the wooden beam at the left side of my porch.  These are birds that I see only rarely.
