I get to add another sighting of these beautiful Cedar Waxwing to my short list of sighting. The 4th time and by far the best photo op and I saw a pair!!!!
These birds seem to be fairly shy much of the time but this pair was very cooperative.
They stayed on this branch for some time while I care fully moved around it maybe 15 feet away.
They flew off and came back a couple of times as well.
They take my breath away!
Stunning!

They're beautiful! I see them sometimes when they come searching for berries, but they never stay long.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds and lovely photos. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteI saw my very first cedar wax wings a few days ago at work, of course no camera. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots! Love the side and back view.
ReplyDeleteHI Kristi Yes these are very beautiful birds and your shots of them are terrific.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And lucky you...all I get to see in my garden is a daylily named after the bird--and there's just no comparison.
ReplyDeletethey're a very handsome bird; great photographs
ReplyDeleteThey're super birds, and lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteThey are so so beautiful. I love them too. MB
ReplyDeleteThey are truly gorgeous birds! They took my breath away too when I have been lucky enough to see them. You got some great photos!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous birds. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat series! These guys always look so neatly groomed. We only get to see them during migration and even then all too briefly.
ReplyDeleteThese are really great birds - and not one that I get to see in Australia - nice pictures as well.

Your pictures are just stunning! I am just getting into birding and photography and am wondering what type of camera/lens combo you use and/or what you would recommend for a beginning birder. I currently have a 5+ years old Canon Power Shot digital point and shoot and while it's okay and has always taken good jewelry shots for me, I think I've about reached the limit of what it can do when it comes to wildlife - certainly can't zoom in on birds as well as I would like and still keep nice, crisp detail.
