They are impossible to open, so we don't use them for anything useful. But they are close in size to a golf ball, so we practice hitting them into the woods. : )<br /><br />Andrea and Dawn - I was so excited about the waxwing shot too. They are not easy to photograph because they keep darting all over the place. The picture makes it look like the bird was just relaxing, but in reality I was just continuously snapping pictures hoping to eventually "catch" one. : )argsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871201210451384398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181995613012845425.post-66185099429774255252010-01-22T18:25:10.260-06:002010-01-22T18:25:10.260-06:00That is an amazing shot of the waxwing.

We have a window in our school area that overlooks two birdfeeders and they ofter distract us from our schoolwork. :)<br /><br />We have a walnut tree too and we are going to have to look for the honeycomb....something new to learn about.<br /><br />There are places here in CA that have extreme trouble with people "poaching" the walnut burls from orchards. They are very valuable. <br /><br />Great study and thanks for sharing!<br />Barb-Harmony Art MomBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565810011908156870noreply@blogger.com
