It was such a pleasant surprise when I discovered that Cedar Waxwings liked to hang out at the creek that runs alongside my street. I've been dying to see these beautiful birds up close and in-person. I may have run out of time for it this year, but I am very determined to get a shot that really captures the beauty of these birds.

I chose this photo over some of the sharper ones because I prefer the composition and pose.

This is a great capture :D I am so jealous! I want to see waxwings too! It's amazing how birds can perch on twigs like that isn't it?

They should be in Jersey, but I never spotted any there - waxwings have been on my birding wishlist for a long time :) And yes, that is amazing how they can hold themselves on such a small twig without even breaking it too.

I'm on the West Coast for school now - currently Steller Jays are on the top of my birding wishlist :giggle:
