Cedar Waxwings

Every year we see a few Cedar Waxwings in the ornamental pear tree outside the kichen window. Usually 4 to 8, once in the spring and once in the fall since they migrate through here. This spring, we have seen many groups. Last Friday, we were sitting in the kichen eating breakfast when we saw a huge group (Dad said there were about 100). They landed in the tree and flew around. Dad left for work, and mom and I watch them until they left. They stayed about 45 minutes. We have seen several groups of 25 to 30 since, but there are hardly any berries left on the tree!

If you don’t know what a Cedar Waxwing is, there is a nice picture at:
