The Weekend in Black and White: Cedar Waxwings

In the winter, cedar waxwings flock to my trees and watch me remove the ice from their bird bath. As soon as I put the fresh water in I get my camera and photograph them through the door windows.

Those birds look very intimidating with their little "robber" masks on. Great shot!

I'm so envious! I've only seen a few cedar waxwings and can't imagine having them wait for me to fix their water like that. Ohhhhhhh.

So beautiful...thank you for sharing.

They are lovely. I guess they don't favor their drinks on the rocks!

About Me

My Photo
My original site, Carver's Sight or is that Site, was inspired by reading the blogs of people who I got to know through the Melanoma Patient's Information Page (MPIP). As time has gone on, I find myself talking as much about gardening, photography, and other random thoughts as I do about melanoma follow up. I am happy about that. I have set up an additional site, Carver Cards, which is primarily a photoblog.
