Watching Birds Cedar Waxwings

In April of this year I had the pleasure of seeing a flock of cedar waxwings at the water feature in the back yard.  There were over a hundred of these outstanding looking birds in the trees above the water feature.  They were constantly going back and forth from the trees to the water feature.  As many as 15 waxwings were at the feature at one time.

Cedar waxwings got their name from the red waxy drops that are at the end of their adult secondary flight feathers.  I always look for them when I hear a very high pitched sound.  They are a simply a delight!
