  Various sized flocks of cedar waxwings have appeared almost daily in my neighborhood during the past week, numbering from dozens to hundreds. Until today my attempts to count them have been frustated because they would just land briefly in the tree tops, then take off in swirling groups and disappear down the hill. Today however they were very accommodating. They settled down on the telephone wires across the street, and perched shoulder to shoulder while I counted. Estimating groups of 10 I reached 25 groups (250 waxwings) before they flew, and I had only counted about half of them. So 500+ would be a conservative estimate.
