What really struck me about the cedar waxwings, besides how unique they were in form and movement, was how ungainly they appeared. Their short wings beat very quickly; they twisted and manuevered in the air with evident effort. They did seem to be fairly precise flyers, just rather inefficient.

God, that Blue was perfect. It showed itself off like an excited puppy. Then again, it was eating poop, again rather like an excited puppy. Go fig.
