We don't often get cedar waxwings much here. Why I don't know. I have some nice yummy cedar trees. But a pile of them came through this morning and then disappeared. I only see them maybe once a year for some reason...

Same deal with the Starlings. Don't hardly see them much but at the same time this morning I got a pile of them too. Gone now.

The wren I see about once a week.

Robins were flocking too. That's not so uncommon. Here is one eating my berries.

Nice pics.
Last year was the first time I'd seen a Cedar Waxwing. It was probably the highlight of my first year list!
 
I have seen waxwings 4 out of the last 5 days. Late afternoon after the sun has set. It seems like they appear when I go out to fill the feeders. The first three days I seen 8-10. Last night I watched a dozen or so fly out of a huge walnut tree. I zoomed in on the top of the tree and there where 17 more. I'm not sure why they are hanging around. There has to be fruit some where. Today we are being inundated with American Goldfinches. There might be 100 of them.
