Cedar Waxwings: Part TWO!

As promised, here is Part Two of my two part series on

the wonderful Cedar Waxwings that flew into our apple orchard.

I was lucky that they flew into our front yard orchard, where the lighting was better than it was in the first set of pictures I posted.

His colors show up so much nicer in the sun!:

I love his head crest!:

Here are three of them on the same branch, happily munching on apples:

He looks so regal!:

And he even looked the other way to give me his "other" profile!:

They were having quite the buffet of apples!:






They even eat upside down!:







I caught the one on the right in flight!:

They haven't been back since I caught them on camera that day, so I am really glad I was home when they stopped by to feast on the apple trees.

P.S. A reminder that I pre-published this blogpost. As you read this today, I am actually in Florida visiting my daughter. I will be checking my comments as I can get WiFi at the hotel and will be trying to stop by your blogs now and then too. I will get caught up with your blogs that I don't get to read when I return. Thanks again for continuing to read my blog while I am enjoying some southern sun. I will be capturing some tropical scenes down there to post for you when I return.
