This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Fun Bird Photos!

 My office window looks out on a large juniper tree and on Friday/Saturday a whole flock of Cedar Waxwings appeared to pick it clean of its berries. These little guys are some of my favorites! They've got dusty yellow bellies, brilliant yellow tips on their tail, and flashes of red on their wings. They even have a crest a bit like a cardinal's. About 90% of waxwings' diet is fruit, and sometimes they accidentally eat overripe fruit and get drunk; if they're eating berries and only one bird can reach them, they'll actually sit in a line and pass the fruit down to make sure everyone gets some.

(the quality of the photos is thanks to my job: the professional-grade Canon lives in my office 😀)
