Backyard Winter Birds Photo

Photographer’s Note

February in North Carolina. We're having a bit of a warm spell, so I spent some time in the backyard- with my camera, of course.

As luck would have it, these birds decided to stop by. I had never seen these birds before- certainly not in our backyard.

With a little research, I learned they are Cedar Waxwings. They are typically northern birds, but come south for the winter.

Hi Randy!
I hope that they found somethin to eat in Schwartz's garden! ;-) I like how you show them in front of the blurred background and this light in their feathers. They seem to perform a ballet. They have realatives here.
Greetings from Siegen - with +2°C and 10cm of snow slush! Brrr!

Hello Randy,
Glad to see that you posted a photo with these lovely birds!
It seems they were having fun, enjoying some rays of sun! I like the movement of the one on the left.
See you soon!!!
Marianne
