Oh, A Cedar Waxwing
March 2, 2021
I mentioned in a post on Facebook earlier today that I saw a flock of cedar waxwings in my neighbor’s holly bush earlier today. I managed to grab my camera and open the porch window and catch a couple of decent shots with 300mm zoom.
I can’t see a cedar waxwing without my memory kicking in to hear my mom declare many decades ago, “Oh, a cedar waxwing!” as we were driving through the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
I like to call the cedar waxwings “little masked marauders,” as they fly around in flocks looking for berries to eat. What a treat to see these beauties today in the cold artic like winds.
The cedar waxwings a one of my favorite woodland birds.
