Thanks to Bruce MacPherson [Green Mountain Audoubon Society] for this alert:  Saw 76 Waxwings at Technology Park this afternoon [4/2]. They were feeding on crab apples right in front of the Symtech entrance. ~Bruce

I biked over to see them on 4/3. Temps in mid 20's, strong cold north wind. Fingers near frozen by the time I got to the birds. Had trouble with pushing the camera button. Birds were very patient with me. ~Bernie
