Last evening Jeremy spotted an injured cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) outside my building. Today I took it in to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota, which happens to be conveniently located in Roseville’s Central Park just a few miles away. Cedar waxwings are one of my favorite birds. I hope it will heal soon.

After I dropped it off, I went across the street to the Muriel Sahlin Arboretum, a small horticultural area of 8 acres. There I saw my first daffodils and ducklings of the season.

It’s a beautiful 77 degree day with sun and a breeze. St. Louis was always so still. Here it seems to be always windy.
