The CEDAR WAXWING juvenile
showed up for breakfast at Ava's at first light, as did the territorial
AMERICAN ROBIN male. I waited for the bright sun at noon for photography and was
fortunate to find the bird after a short wait.
The Waxwing fed on both the red
Mt Ash berries and the black Mayday berries. It was funny to watch; as the
berry went down, the waxwing's shape changed from a stretched out slim bird to
a really dumpy belly bird.
The robin frequently landed
close to the waxwing and made it fly to another branch or to a tree away from
the yard. After eating many berries, the little bird sat in the sun, all fluffed
up, no doubt warming up the cold fruit, before feeding again.
It will be interesting to see
how long it stays, and if any others join it.
Happy Birding!

Long and sleek, stretching for berry.
Down the hatch!
No longer sleek!
Warming up in the sunshine.
Big bossy Robin.
