Garden Guest: Cedar Waxwing 2016

The north side of our front yard is a certified  National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat.  Really!  We have a certificate!  You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young.  It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit.  I have a series of posts to show you our Garden Guests.
 
If you would like to see more, please take a look at my Gardening Page
 
 
These lovely birds are Cedar Waxwings.

 
We consider them our sweet Harbingers of Spring as they migrate for the Summer.

 
Cedar Waxwings stay only as long as there are treats for them on our Western Soapberry tree.

 
What's happening in your back yard?

  4. I am in Alabama and I saw my first flock of Cedar Waxwings 2 weeks ago. I wonder how far south they are traveling?

  5. What beautiful pictures! We have had Bohemian Waxwings stop off here in Scotland on their way south from Russia before, and they were very similar, but not as colourful. Thank you for sharing :-)

  6. I love cedar waxwings! They are such cheerful birds! I'm loving all the nesting and baby raising going on with the birds in my backyard. So much fun to watch.
