cedar waxwing

1/250s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso400

Starting to see a lot of these but unfortunately many times high in the trees. This one was more accomodating to come a bit lower. They nest in our area so should be seeing them often now.

This flock visited my backyard and stayed for several photos! They were really fun to watch!

But I knew it was only going to stay a second or two.

Here's a photo of some cedar waxwings in Austin, Tx that I snapped a couple weeks ago. Such cool looking birds.

Cedar Waxwings are visitors in our yard during the winter because of the berries. They are fun to watch, they clean out the tree in 2 days, and then go elsewhere in the area.

One of my favorites, this guy let me take several shots.

I think they're plotting something...

Hi Folks 2 Cedar Waxwings flew down from the top of the Arizona Ash in our garden alighting on the bird bath to leave an even 50 above. Sunny day yesterday and white adobe wall necessited sunglasses to see comfortably Uncle Gus

Wow! Did we ever have Cedar Waxwings, 52 to be correct, all watching out over bthe neighbourhoo at about 40 feet on top of our Arizona Ash. Quite a sight! Uncle Gus

I have been wanting to photo one of these for a long time. Went to my daughters last week and there was a flock of them around. Could not get in the best place for the lighing and the batteries in the flash died, but I am happy with my first Waxwing.

Hi Folks Photo taken in our garden in Green Valley AZ. Part of 50 officialy counted in our tree for Dec 28 2009 bird count... Sketch done using AKVIS Graphic Tools. Best regards Uncle Gus & Gina

Hi Folks Not a great photo, but just a sample of the 50 waxwings we counted on our Arizona Ash on December 28th, 2009 the official bird count day for the Tucson AZ group. Was a very dull cloudy day, and naturally, the next day was brilliant sunshine, but no birds. Best wishes for 2010 Uncle...

The same pair of juvi's reacting to each other in a much more tollerent way. I guess they are just checking one another out.

Came across a bunch of these guys eating bugs out over the river today. They would fly out from trees near the river's edge and then return to the trees.

Have seen a bunch of these several times on a local bike path, but, they are usually out flying from stump to stump in a swampy area off the side of the path catching insects and are usually a bit too far for a good photo. This one was right off the side of the path feeding on some berries.
