Dance of the Cedar Waxwings

Howdee all,

The Robins and Cedar Waxwings continue to devour the Holly berries

Birds Cedar waxwing_002Birds Cedar waxwing_007…and leave their droppings all over…

Cant sit on my chair now..Birds Cedar waxwing_003

Good thing we have a tarp on the Homey this year!

Jeff wont have to spend hours scrubbing the roof of Homey to remove the all the berry poop.Birds Cedar waxwing_005

I took a video of a flock of Cedar Waxwings at the water dish..This is the first year we have had Waxwings and Robins at the water dish.

I think someone put too much salt on the Holly berries Smile

Enjoy the video

In the holiday spirit…..

  2. I saw Cedar Waxwings on the front of a bird book, but never expected to see one here in Colorado (since I hadn't in ten years.) Then while rafting down some whitewater in Brown's Canyon a few years back I got a flash of a few. I was so excited I almost fell out of the raft! :)

    Needless to say, I love these beautiful guys, and starting a Monday morning w/ their dance is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

  6. Oh what a glorious sight! I love Cedar Waxwings. They are such sleek, handsome birds. How wonderful to see them so close up. I have viewed many but all sitting in the treetops or flying aloft. A joy to view your blog and video ... as always! Thanks for the smile.

  8. Waxwings are such joyful birds.They have a poor excuse for a song, but they make up for in so many ways.

  9. ...okay...that is just too cool. I've seen flocks in our trees eating berries, but one has never come in for a drink. Amazing and fun...(perfect music).
