Cedar Waxwings have arrived



I looked out my window today and noticed the midges have hatched out. At least I think that's what they are. Later in the day as the sun was getting low in the western sky, I noticed the Cedar Waxwings had arrived. They were busy flitting from the trees on the edge of the lake out over the ice that is still on the lake. I finally put 2 and 2 together and realized they were eating the midges. I grabbed my camera and walked out on the ice in time to get a few pics before the light got too bad. I caught this guy scratching himself.
