 Thanks to a timely visit to my birding friend Tim Daly in Berkeley, I =
was able to watch several CEDARWAXWINGS, as they devoured quite a few =
persimmons at very close range (20 -25 feet). It was a joy as several =
males and females allowed us to compare coloring for quite some time. In =
a comical moment, on WAXWING had her head so far in a persimmon,  she =
didn't see the other birds fly away in a response to  me appearing in =
the window. When she realized she was the only bird in the tree, she =
scattered like a sleeping partridge startled into flight by a golden =
retriever. =20

We were also surprised by a visit from a male and female RED SHAFTED =
FLICKER, eating off the same persimmon tree. The interaction of these =
birds and several ROBINS made for a very enjoyable rainy day. Thanks =
Tim.


Good birding
