The Cedar Waxwings were in a "feeding frenzy" the day before the big snow here a couple weeks ago. Several hundred came and stripped our pear trees of all their berries in under an hour. Thanks for looking.

Exceptional Brad, you captured their feathers beautifully... love to watch them gorge themselves and they sure make short work of a berry tree... mine have left for parts unknown, but they usually return the end of March & into April.
