Two months ago it did not look like we were going to have the wonderful October we have enjoyed. The migratory birds seemed to pass through very early. There were snow buntings in the middle of September. Everything saying early winter. But wrong. The waterfowl may have left early but there have been plenty of birds enjoying the fruits on various trees and the snow buntings are still around. Two of the interesting birds we get at this time of year are Cedar and Bohemian waxwings. The Cedar waxwing is slightly smaller and much more common. Our area is at the eastern edge of the Bohemian waxwings range. Both species form flocks, sometimes together, and love mountain ash berries. Both species have small red, waxy knobs on their wings. The reason for this is unknown. Both species have a yellow band on their tails. Sometimes this is orange and it appears to be diet related!

Everyone Wins! Recreation and Parks build strong families and healthy communities: Recreation contributes to the development of future capacity. Childhood recreation activity is associated with adult volunteering and community work. Recreation programs promote leadership, character, health, and career development of youth while emphasizing social, cultural and educational growth. Recreation provides safe, developmental opportunities during the critical after-school hours. Parks and green space encourage socialization, thereby strengthening community relationships. The sense of belonging resulting from this inter-action may help dissipate the feeling of isolation often experienced by marginalized groups and older adults.
