Return Of The Waxwings

I saw about 3 or 4 Cedar Waxwings last week while we were out hiking at Garbry Big Woods. These are not great photos, but it was the best shots I was able to get on this day.

I love how the colors of the Cedar Waxwing the crown is especially cool. I am sure I will get another opportunity to photograph one before it gets hot ,.. or cold. Have a great day.

A museum of waxwings

I don’t know, but this appears to be a family. Waxwings are often found in flocks, so this may just be that, a flock. I saw more in the area.

The parents are monogamous, and I believe the top two birds are a couple. Perhaps the others are their young. That would surprise me, but I need to do some research.

I found them near the Miami River, just south of the Farrington Reserve. I love how the sky looks like a sheet of paper. It was a cloudy, glumly morning.

Have a great day!

Cedar Waxwing

I took this photo of this Cedar Waxwing (male) near the Farringington Reserve. It must be the cotton candy that attracted him:). He sure has a mouth full.
