Cedar Waxwings

   April 6, 2011 Wednesday at 7pm

   Tonight while eating dinner in our garden, we spotted three Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) perched in our neighbor's large hickory tree. Robert ran inside and fetched binoculars so we could examine them closely.

   The Cedar Waxwings were lovely and sat very still for us to admire them. I especially like the tip of their tails which look like they'd been dipped in a paint bucket. We continued to enjoy them while eating dinner.

   This is not our first time to see Cedar Waxwings in our backyard. We have several grapevines, so we usually get Cedar Waxwings in the autumn.
