As good as gold

Lillian Cucuzza, of Land O’ Lakes, was sitting with her camera in her backyard, waiting for a painted bunting to return to her feeder. She heard multiple high-pitched, but faint, whistles. High up in the Cypress trees out in the preserve east of her property, Cucuzza spotted an ‘earful’ (or flock, or ‘museum’) of Cedar Waxwings sitting in the top of a tree. The sun came out from behind a cloud and lit the birds up, like gold. Cucuzza said we live in an incredible area for the migration of “a lot of really cool birds.”
