Cedar Waxwings

I absolutely love Cedar Waxwings. I use to see them in Michigan all the time in the winter and spring months. I honestly never knew they came this far South until I saw some in the tree next to the house a few weeks ago. I wasn't able to get a photo at that time and was so sad. This evening I was fix'in to mow and getting the mower ready when I heard a bird or should I say birds peeping...I ignored it at first and then it hit me, Hey those are Cedar Waxwings peeping. I looked up and there was a huge flock in the Pecan tree behind the house, Ohh so cool. I moved as fast as I could and got the camera and they were still there, yeah! In fact they stayed there for 15 minutes while I took numerous photos...I was so loving it!

Thank you Chris. I was just tickled to be able to get photos of them and of course to see them again. Glad I had a decent lens this time to get some great photos too! I knew you of all people would understand my excitement in seeing and being able to photograph the Cedar Waxwings.
