Cedar Waxwing eating apple flower pedals...
Comments (16)OH, I see what you mean. This must be more of a tech thing, using the camera to it's limits? They want to see every tip of every feather and give most of the credit to the camera? I just think that pic is a work of art, I think the "soft edges" enhances the beauty of the birds and the flowers. May I print it and hang it? I could send you a few very bad pictures of my little pond, never seem to be able to get the brids that love it so much to pose for me. Wax wings, Indigos, Tanagers, Orioles, Towhees, Cardinals, Gold Finches, Grosbeaks, Dees, Robins, all make a very colorful splash along with all the flowers blooming around it and the goldies IN it.....See MoreEnticing cedar waxwings to feeder
Comments (10)I just read an article that said Cedar Waxwings love wool and will make a complete nest out of wool. That is exactly what my pair have been doing. I had put the wool out thinking birds will line their nests with it, but in the case of waxwings, they actually construct their nests out of the wool. That is probably why they are ignoring the dog hair. It will be interesting to take a picture of the nest once they are done with it (don't want to disturb them) and see how it is constructed. The wool I offered probably is what made them to decide to nest in my yard as I have never had them nest before. What a stroke of luck that I had decided to offer wool. I had an old quilt that was filled with wool that was worn out so I thought I would use the wool. Good thing I did....See MoreCedar Waxwings
Comments (2)We had one nest here in southern Indiana, first we had nesting, nested in a black walnut tree. now we have a mystery of a nest with a small bird that we have not got a real close look at, 3 eggs, blue with black swirls about 10 ft off the ground in a apple tree. The cedar waxwings travel in flocks except when they are nesting...See MoreLate nesting habits by Cedar Waxwings?
