The Cedar Waxwings Arrived Today

Every year I look forward to the Cedar Waxwings stopping by to strip the berries off our juniper tree. I marvel at their colors, the mask on their faces and the way they eat so fast. Today was the day for them to stop by on their way north. A blessing to be sure to watch them.

I had to snap the pictures through the window.

These are my mother's favorite birds. We only see them once a year, for one day, when they come eat berries and take off on their migration. The day my mother was looking to at her house the first time, they pulled up in the driveway and she saw the flock in a tree. That was it -- she knew that was the house for her. She told the agent they didn't even need to go in, that she would be buying that house (of course, she did go in. She is an engineer and her practical side sometimes wins out.)
