He came in to feed on my Oregon Grape Berries. The female was in the tree and he was feeding her. I hope I can get a picture of that. The evening setting sun is coming in creating the bokeh.
One last shot of one of these gorgeous birds. The berries are gone now, so I won't be getting more photos of them this year, at least not on our holly. Glendale, Missouri
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. Wikipedia
Shot of Cedar Falls taken at Hocking Hills State Park in Logan, OH. Taken using an iPhone 7 mounted on a tripod. Used the Camera+ app's long exposure feature to capture the smoky look of the waterfall. Post processing was done using Snapseed.
This is an image of beautiful Cedar Run Falls at Shenandoah National Park. Nice hike and a nicer view.

The Cedar Waxing are showing up hawking around the ponds for bugs .
Cedar Waxwings are pale brown on the head and chest fading to soft gray on the wings. The belly is pale yellow, and the tail is gray with a bright yellow tip. The face has a narrow black mask neatly outlined in white. The red waxy tips to the wing feathers are not always easy to see.
Cedar Waxwings are social birds that you’re likely to see in flocks year-round. They sit in fruiting trees swallowing berries whole, or pluck them in mid-air with a brief fluttering hover. They also course over water for insects, flying like tubby, slightly clumsy swallows.
We usually see big flocks of Bohemian Waxwings at this time of year, but sometimes see overwintering Cedar Waxwings even though they are a summer migratory species.

View from our Kitchen window still as colorful as this 10 days later,
Things got much more intense in color, far in the back you can see the roses still blooming.
I watched a flock of cedar waxwings on a crabapple for a couple hours. They stuffed themselves to the point that the berries protruded through their skin!

This is my first attempt at this bird feeding. It was a slight miss on the focus. One thing with mirrorless cameras is called live focus. there is only a couple cameras that have true live focus right now. At this time there is miliseconds after the focus and actual shot is taken, It's very similiar to any DSLR camera when the mirror flaps up and the shot is taken. That is why birds in flight are tough to get sharp at this time. It takes a lot of practice to get it right. This camera is getting an update very soon to give it true live focus. Best fix right now is to just take lots of shots and not in high speed. Give the camera time to catch up. I did get shots of the bird in sharp focus, but my goal was to also get the bug and mouth open.
It's always fun to watch a waxwing feeding frenzy. This one was kind enough to hang out at the edge of the tree for better and cleaner looks.

A large cedar of Lebanon sat obstinately in front of the Great Pagoda.
These elegant and stately trees would have first arrived in the UK in the mid 17th century and therefore, back in the 1840s this tree might still have been regarded as an exotic rarity. It probably dates from about 1760.
Perhaps for these reasons, Nesfield left it where it was and where it remains to this day.
A mature cedar of Lebanon can exceed 35m in height and has nearly horizontal branches which add greatly to its aesthetic appeal.
They are native to the Eastern Mediterranean and have always been commercially valuable due to their excellent wood, which is hard, resilient, reddish-orange and delightfully fragrant.
Cedars can withstand both hard winters and dry summers and thus may prove to be resilient to climate change.
My cedar waxwings arrived about a week ago. I was so happy to see them again. As usual, they enjoying eating the apple tree flowers. Such delightful little birds. They are among my favorite.
About once a year a huge flock of these chittering birds decends on our neighbor's sugarberry tree and fest on the juicy berries, dropping the seeds on the sidewalk. I feel like I'm walking on tiny marbles. They move nonstop. This is the first year I've gotten some decent photos of the voracious little birds.
With thin, lisping cries, flocks of Cedar Waxwings descend on berry-laden trees and hedges, to flutter among the branches as they feast. These birds are sociable at all seasons, and it is rare to see just one waxwing. Occasionally a line of waxwings perched on a branch will pass a berry back and forth, from bill to bill, until one of them swallows it. This species has a more southerly range than the Bohemian Waxwing, and is a familiar visitor to most parts of this continent south of the Arctic.

The Cedars of God (Arabic: أرز الربّ Arz ar-Rabb "Cedars of the Lord") is one of the last vestiges of the extensive forests of the Lebanon cedar, that once thrived across Mount Lebanon in ancient times. Their timber was exploited by the Phoenicians, Israelites, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans, and Turks.
