  Hi  all this morning with the weather change  I decided to bird in  
Terrapin Park  on Kent Island  hopefull for Cave Swallows  alas that was not 
  to be . The Place was quite birdy anyway . Loads of sparrows , Robins, 
Waxwings, some finches also. The waxwings and  Robins and Waxwings were 
feeding  on any berry they could find  pokeberries , honeysuckle,mistletoe  
etc   much to the dismay of the  Mockingbirds there .   Numbers are off the
