Video: Miami Vice in the house!
I find Cedar Waxwings fascinating, they are so beautiful with their cool Miami Vice look. They never visit my feeders and only show up in groups at certain times of the year, so I think I am extra excited to see them. I admit we also planted a lot of native bushes and plants to attract them so I would have photo opportunities, but everything is still small. Anyways, please enjoy this group at the bath.

where all the birds are taking care of their babies and there is a thunderstorm every four hours can be a bit boring for the backyard birder. But the bird bath still provides good entertainment. Here is a surprise Cedar Waxwing, who was joined by a Baltimore Oriole.
Video: A white whale backyard bird
Today was a special day - a group of Cedar Waxwings came to the pond! They are one of my white whale backyard birds because they do not come to feeders and I find them so cool looking. We planted lots of plants in the garden because we heard they lure them in :D The other bird is an American Robin, and he cracked me up because he seemed rather unhappy about the jolly group using his pool.
