I just arrived home from stopping at Canal Street in Augusta. There was a mixed flock of about 50 Bohemian waxwings and ~30 American robins feeding in crab apples opposite the dogie walking area. The crab apple crop was fairly depleted. Unfortunately, the birtds moved on by the time I left. There were at least 3 Newfoundland/Maritime robins among those I was able to look at carefully before they flushed. The Bohemian count was conservative as some took off with the robins.
There were no common mergansers in the open water opposite Canal St. Gull numbers were low, although they were just beginning to arrive.
