Thwarted Expectations on Every Count

While away on a family emergency trip this past weekend I left BirdCam to record the doings at our pedestal bird bath.  I had hoped to see more signs of the Cedar Waxwings who visited on the 16th.  That didn't happen.  I also hoped to see a wide variety of visitors.  And that didn't happen: we had a good number of Yellow Rumped Warblers (shown), a few cardinals and wrens, a Brown Headed Nuthatch, some Mourning Doves, and a squirrel.  And that was about all.  And lastly, I hoped to see good traffic especially during the coldest days.  And...that didn't happen.  The photo counts actually dried up!  I had less than ten photos on Sunday, a handful on Monday, and virtually none in the past two days.  I have found the bird bath to be an expectation-defying place.  And this weekend was no exception.  Time to watch another location!
