Fancy News - A fall of Cedar Waxwings lands in the Library crabapples! - Spring is right around the corner


On patrol late this morning along the busy thoroughfares of downtown Springfield, Vermont, Official Home of the Simpsons, an unfamiliar sound was heard - the call of some kind of song bird! A close eyeballing of the fine crabapple trees that grace the postage stamp sized front garden space of our fine antique library building revealed the presence of quite a few Cedar Waxwings, as identified thanks to the trusty Sony DSLR A-100 and the website - http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/Infocenter/i6190id.html. Can Spring be far away now?
