We have never seen so many Cedar Waxwings in one location. It was fun watching them come in for a drink. In all the photos I captured of them drinking, there was always one Cedar preforming the task of “lookout”. Photos taken in April 2014 in South Llano State Park, Junction, Texas. I was using my Canon 70D with Canon EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 lens.
I have a very old National Geographic Field Guide and I always write next to the bird, when and where it was seen. Sometimes, but not often, I will write an additional note.
When I went to look up the Cedar Waxwing, I saw that I had written in the book that my Mom was visiting and the three of us went birding.
The cedar waxwings are all over Tamarac right now taking advantage of the numerous dragonflies.
Hi Judy, they are beautiful birds for sure. I know they must eat, but poor Dragonflies!
Beautiful birds – they look so smooth. Like a painting. 🙂
Hi Barbara! Nice to hear from you. I know you are enjoying NM. These Waxwings are smooth!!
