I took this image last March in my backyard, amazing to see so many Cedar Waxwings. As many as you see here there were about 3X that many trying to get into the bird bath at one point....such beautiful birds.

  Fantastic capture, Phyllis. This is too funny. I have only seen Waxwings once and they swooped down all at once on an evergreen tree and picked it clean and off they went, never to be seen again.
