Hi Tweeters:

While walking the trails at Lake Fenwick in Kent today around 4:00 p.m., I saw
a flock of about 10 or 12 Cedar Waxwings, touring the lily pads on the wetland
portion of the West side of the lake. These birds were extremely active,
flying from pad to pad, dipping their open bills in the water and then flying
to another pad. Don't know if they were simply drinking? Or feeding? The
flock continued this way until they have traversed all the lily pads in the
pond (a couple of hundred yards long), and then disappeared into some trees,
all in a period of 2 or 3 minutes.

Across the road from this wetland there was a Swaison's Thrush, eating from
cluster's of red berries which were growing high (15 or 20 feet) in a thick
stand of alder, cottonwood, etc.
