Return of the Waxwing

[Napper]

Hey

A group of twenty or so Cedar Waxwings were about today circling the houses on the street. I suspect I might find them down the street at the four

crab apple trees filled with berries.

I also noticed a large group of American goldfinches flying about.


Umm for weeks it has been pretty bleak around here in terms of birds.  (feeders are full no birds)

I love Waxwings.  And now with some better camera equipment, hope to get a nice shot of one this year.

They around again today.

A few minutes ago while I was outside something caused a large group of Doves to take flight. The Waxwings in the tree across the street(too far for images)

scattered then reformed and flew off..  An American Robin  appeared and followed the Waxwings.

I know Robins are around. I have not seen one in 2011 until today.

This morning we had 2 American Tree sparrows   under the feeders(another first for 2011, for me anyway).

Things are pretty quiet otherwise.  :cry:

There are 4 American Robins on the front of a house across the street hiding from the wind. drinking meltwater from the roof.
