This past Tuesday was a beautiful and sunny mid-January day -- especially when you think of how awful January in Minnesota could be (and has been in the past). While I had Holly out in the backyard for her potty break, I heard the unmistakable call of Cedar Waxwings. Looking around I saw this small flock perched in the top of one of my crabapple trees. I was thankful to see that they stuck around long enough for me to grab my camera and even continued posing while I walked around the yard to take advantage of the last afternoon sunshine and capture a photo of them in the best light. I love Cedar Waxwings and what a treat to see them in the middle of winter!
Nice shot. Hopefully a sign of early spring.
ReplyDeleteNice visit!
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing! Great picture, great timing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! Beautiful birds. And a whole flock! And I just saw your TickerFactory for spring. LOL! While you might want an early spring, I hope you get some rain/snow soon. I've heard from my Wisconsin family that it's been a pretty dry winter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gaelyn -- I hope so too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn.
Thanks Tonyia. Do you see Cedar Waxwings at your place too?
Thank Mollie! You're right, it's very dry here. I hope we get some snow again soon too. There's almost no snow left and what remains is mostly hard and crusty. The birds are really taking advantage of the 2 heated birdbaths on my deck.
They came last summer and stayed for a week or so while they fully stripped my hollies of all their berries. Now the berries have been restored so I'll be watching for them. I just love seeing them in their feeding frenzy!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is absolutely rear picture. Only lucky person can shot this type of picture. Thank you for sharing this.
