The last time I saw Cedar Waxwings was back in March, when we still had 2 feet of snow on the ground. Today I was very happy to see them again.
Here are 3 shots... Enjoy!

Nice bokeh & catchlights in the first two. A pity the sun caught the leaves in the third, but nice shots of a cute bird :)

Very nice John. Lucky you, I haven't seen any since October. No berries yet for them to eat, I guess.

Yes, they eat the berries and I also saw some Orioles snacking on some nectar today.
Thanx for looking guys!

I love the first two, particularly the second one! Well done!
I'm hoping to see these some day.

Yes, sometimes they hide in the leaves and hard to see them. Thanx for the comments guys/galls! ;)
