Guess what I found in the fish house this morning?
A Cedar Waxwing! Cedar Waxwings are very handsome birds and one of my favorites! I've heard and seen large groups of them lately, and yesterday a large group decimated the berries on our holly tree. They LOVE holly berries and I've witnessed hundreds of birds descend upon holly trees and leave them clean in short order! Our tree was LOADED yesterday morning and now it is sparse! Anyway, this morning I walked out to the fish house and saw this little guy up in the rafters.

The little guy DID get out. As you can see from the picture, he perched on that white wire, so I strung another wire across the doorway of the fish house so he would see it, perch on it and realize...humm...I can now fly out. And it worked!
I am not fishing today even though the tide is perfect. Work gets in the way of fishing!
