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!
