This partly dead sumac tree was destined to be cut down until this flock of cedar waxwings decided to use it in the mornings and evenings as a meeting place. They appear groups of 10 to 30 to chatter and conduct feather grooming, then they disperse and go about their daily or nightly bird activities. On its own it is not such an attractive feature just outside the east side, south end window - but as habitat for these beauties, it will stay until they are finished with it.
