I located a few cedar waxwings last week eating berries in downtown Toronto. Nice to see them as it has been some time since I was able to get a few images,
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends.

Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) is a plump, smooth-plumaged bird with distinctive thin, high-pitched call. Adults have a sleek crest, black mask, pale yellow wash on the belly, and yellow-tipped tail. Juveniles are drabber than adults, with coarse streaking on the breast and a reduced mask.
This cedar waxwing was having a hard time getting this berry down, and finally flew to another location - perhaps to drop it without witnesses!
The cedar waxwing is a member of the family Bombycillidae or waxwing family of passerine birds. It is a medium-sized, mostly brown, gray, and yellow bird named for its wax-like wing tips.
Cedar Key Wildlife Refuge is part of an Island off the northwest cost of Florida. This place is very wild and different. I took a few drone shots at sunset.. More to come

I should have stopped down on this one - oh well, it is what it is!
A treat to find in your binocular viewfield, the Cedar Waxwing is a silky, shiny collection of brown, gray, and lemon-yellow, accented with a subdued crest, rakish black mask, and brilliant-red wax droplets on the wing feathers. In fall these birds gather by the hundreds to eat berries, filling the air with their high, thin, whistles. In summer you’re as likely to find them flitting about over rivers in pursuit of flying insects, where they show off dazzling aeronautics for a forest bird.

Sadly, Gilgo Beach is in the news as a dumping ground for bodies. That aside..you'll also find gorgeous beaches, landscapes & serene sunsets.
We have three dogwood trees just outside our house, including one outside the window where I work from home. I saw a lot of activity by the birds, and went out for some shots. Here's one of several of the cedar waxwings enjoying the berries off of the tree.

At an altitude of 10,000+ ft (3,000+m), Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah sits on top of the Colorado plateau. Millions of years of sedimentation, uplift, and erosion have carved out this giant amphitheater that spans some three miles and is more than 2,000 feet deep. The Scenic Drive through the park is closed from the first heavy snow (anywhere from late October to early December) and typically remains closed through late May and early June. This was our fourth attempt to visit this park, and we were rewarded with great views, clear autumn air and wonderful color.
We are back in California after 15 days, 3,000+ miles and a family gathering. I hope to catch up with everyone over the next few days.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

The cedar waxwings were very active today, enjoying the red fruit. I thought that this one's hair style was quite unusual!
A misty, foggy day here. I was out looking for Bohemian Waxwings, but found this Cedar Waxwing instead. The light was very poor, and I could not get the feather detail I would like. But Cedar Waxwings are not common here in winter, so I put it on my stream as a record for this winter. I hope I find one in better light.

Cedar Waxwing : This is a first for me. A very pretty bird.
WORRY:
Worry is like a rocking chair.
It gives you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.
Got to be one of the prettiest birds around hear.
Cedar Waxwings are the most specialized fruit-eating birds. Rather than regurgitating the fruit seeds, they eliminate them with their waste.

They are back and this one was part of my first group of the Summer.... Captured last night around 8pm... the best light next to sunrise and midnight sun. Hope it is going to be a good year for waxwings on Vancouver Island.
