What wonderful information on Cedar Waxwings. I will certainly be listening and looking for them in my backyard.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the beautiful Cardinals that live near me. Have you heard the Cardnials near you? I can always tell when autumn is almost here, because the Cardinals song is different. In the spring they sing often and their song is very happy and lively. They sing less in the autumn and the song is short, just enough to let the other birds know they have chosen their winter home.
I am glad they choose to say around for the winter, their bright red feathers are so beautiful in the snow.
I am looking forward to reading more of your observations of nature.
I love Cardinals too! And their bright red feathers are beautiful! I think their songs are beautiful to listen to! :)
