[EBB Sightings] Cedar Waxwings

My surprise at Waxwings in the first couple days of September turns out to 
be unwarranted.

I generally don't see them till much later.  And I know that their nesting 
season is quite a bit later than most other passerines, because of the 
inclusion of berries in their diet and the diet of their nestlings.  I have 
heard of active Waxwing nests well into August.  But Joe Morlan pointed out 
some useful arrival tables posted by the Santa Cruz Bird Club:

   ...and there is nothing exceptional about this time as an early arrival 
date for Waxwings.
