Hello friends! Today I’m celebrating the large flocks of cedar waxwings I’m hanging out with each day. They are celebrating the bug bonanza that is this time of year - lots of bugs and less competition! I can’t help but think they are reveling in the bounty and I am reveling in their delight. Here are some favorite recent photos of cedar waxwings:

Coming straight at me!

Make a wish! (It looks like a wishbone to me!)

Junior and an adult passing overhead with a photobomb by a chimney swift. The adult has the yellow belly and the more solid colored head.

Junior is looking spiffy!

Um, dude, you’ve got something on your face…

The adult feathers really are beautiful!

Hope you’ve enjoyed hanging out with the cedar waxwings today! Have a good week friends.
