For the past 2-3 years, I've had an outstanding to-do that I just wasn't able to get around to: figure out a way to remove two small tangles of some kind of string that ended up in a couple of branches of the sugar maple tree outside our kitchen window, perhaps blown up from the road or a garden where they'd been used to tie a plant. Over the weekend, I had the delight of watching a cedar waxwing pair (am assuming they were a pair, rather than competitive individuals) patiently, slowly but surely worry the two tangles apart and make off with threads. There must be a well-fortified little nest somewhere nearby now. A good choice of neighborhood too-the mulberry tree that is on the other side of the house is loaded, its berries starting to turn dark. The chicks will likely be well fed.
