Wax wings travel in packs. We’d see 5-6 grouped together. Years ago i had some type of cherry tree which would attract them. I didn’t spend as much time as I should have when they visited. Sadly such is youth.
I’m up on the north shore of Lake Ontario. They will come and be gone in a month. Some stay but many pass on to the north.

Bird migration is in full swing. The warblers are coming. First few have arrived. My favorite time of the year.
I was lucky last year with the Orioles, Tanager and the wax wings. Some smaller guys too.
