It doesn't happen often, but over the weekend I was graced by a flock or 2 of Cedar Waxwings. I hope you enjoy the following captures of our interaction.

Beautiful birds, and beautiful shots Steve. Why is it they only visit once or twice a year?;)

Thanks for the compliment Ian. I see flocks of these guys around all winter 50-60 feet up in the trees. By "visit", I mean become more photographically accessible to those of us who are altitude-challenged :). This time they were zooming in for a drink from local bird baths.

Such beautiful birds & you've done an amazing job capturing them. I get them in the yard but they are so elusive, haven't got a shot yet :(
