[obol] Cedar Waxwing on a Spider Sweep

[Bigrocketman at comcast.net]

This time of year, I often see Cedar Waxwings hawking insects from cottonwood trees along rivers.  But today, one made a thorough sweep of the trees and shrubs in my yard and appeared to have plucked all the spiders out of their webs.  It often hovered in front of a big web and moved in slowly, before snapping up its unlucky resident.  It was also scooting along tree branches and finding lots of other things to grab.
