They're back.

I think the cedar waxwing I saw yesterday is nesting somewhere nearby. I thought I spotted two of them in the tree yesterday afternoon, but my window's mucky and I couldn't tell for sure. Just now, a waxwing landed in the tree next to my window and started picking at the abandoned robin's nest. After gathering a nice little bundle in its beak it flew off around the corner. I have a feeling the waxwings are nesting in a tree along the other side of the building, or that they're trying it out as a nesting site. I hope so - they're pretty little birds, and if I can't have the robins in this tree then having waxwings stop by is a neat thing too.
