As my momma used to occasionally say..."it is not much to write home about, and yet, it is better than nothing"...
I have patiently waited all year for my chance to view, enjoy and photograph the Cedar Waxwings...my favorite songbird, I do believe...OK, well one of them...
The other day, I heard the Robins swelling their voices to high pitch and I knew that they were eating Honeysuckle berries down the lane and that there was a good chance that the Waxwings would be there as well, and to my delight, they were.
Then it began...the rain. Life giving rain. There I was about to take my grand images and it began to drizzle at first, and then the rain soaked me and I had to make a mad dash home. There are still plenty of berries and last year the big day was on November 11, and so there may still be other chances to get the big one, but until then, here are a few shares~
Have a great weekend~

Mary, these are wonderful! Who cares about a soaking when you have such a rich reward, I just hope you didn't catch a cold. All of them adorable but the second last with two of them in one shot, really great.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you are safely home again from your wonderful trip.
Very nice captures!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Mary that Waxwings are a wonderful sight, especially when they descend on the berries. Our Waxwings have to come over from Scandinavia and there aren't any yet, but here's hoping.
ReplyDeletethey look so cute! a couple of those shots, they look quite miffed that you're taking their photo when they should be busy stuffing their beaks with berries. :)
ReplyDeleteGood series!!
ReplyDeleteGreat set of shots Mary. 2922 is the money shot for me - always was a sucker for a waxwing with a red berry in its bill!! LOL!!
