My Favorite Bird






These beautiful cedar waxwings showed up with a flock of robins to eat the tiny, leftover pears from our two Bradford pear trees. I just love the coloration of these birds from the yellow tip tail to the red tip wings. I must have missed them in previous years or else this is the first year they spotted our pear trees. It doesn't take them long to strip the trees bare. I watched them last spring strip the red berries from a holly bush on the college campus in a matter of minutes.
