Thank you for the note and yes they are one of my favorite birds. They are so sleek and beautiful.
I absolutely love Cedar Waxwings! They are such social birds. The first time I saw them both the birds and myself were gorging on wild blueberries. I even saw them feeding each other. Great photos. Thanks for sharing and reminding me to track down my photos :)
