For only the second time since we have lived here, large numbers of cedar waxwings migrated through our yard.
They spent most of the afternoon enjoying a feast of crabapples.
I was so happy to capture some photos in the bright sunlight because once the clouds moved int they didn't show up nearly as well.
So far today, I have only spotted one straggler so I think the majority of the group has already moved on. It sure was fun while it lasted :)

Great shots of the cedar waxwings.
Unfortunately a flock of these masked raiders can clean out my dwarf crab apple tree in short order. I'm usually too busy watching them eat and forget all about my camera.
One of my absolutely favorite birds..these are wonderful shots, Marsha! You lucky girl, such a colorful and exquiste treat sent from above to brighten your day.. ;-)
I am truly envious...but happy for u!
These birds are usually seen in flocks.I am so happy you had the chance to get some great pictures.
Blessings,Ruth
You did get great shots of them.I have trouble getting clear shots of birds.
Have a good weekend,
Carolyn
Marsha, nice to see your birds... ;-)
Oh, it's so fun to see them descend on a berried shrub and eat until they are satiated! Great photos Marsha!

Great pictures, Marsha! I really enjoy your pictures :)
You have some beautiful photos on your blog. I just discovered you when I came here from Marsha's Mpressions. I'm new to blogging, but I think maybe we should start a "Marsha/Marcia club ;-)
Blessings,
Marcia
Crabapples are a magnet aren't they? Nice shots, congrats on your find!
Very nice photos here, glad you got to capture them again!
I love these beautiful birds! It pays to have crab apples to attract them. Great captures.
Such gorgeous birds, Marsha ... I'm not surprised that you get such varied visitors; your gardens are so inviting.
I love Cedar Waxwings too! I'm lucky enough to keep a few in my yard all summer. Your pictures are beautiful Marsha
Hi! I haven't been around a few days, seems like I missed a lot. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your step mom. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I cannot BELIEVE it has snowed there 3 times already. That is just crazy! It NEVER snows here but once every 10 years!
As always your photos are amazing!
Great shots!
It's amazing how much prettier they look in the sunlight. I'm glad you got some great shots!
