Scotties curling

I was at the afternoon watching PEI play Quebec, this photo is of the teams at the start of the games.

PEI scored three in the second end and went on to win the games.

There were six of these birds in the crabapple tree this morning, are they waxwings?
I had to use the snow blower to clear the walk and driveway this morning. The temp did get up to +4 this afternoon with overcast skies.
