1-2-3 Birds & Berries – #15
The birds have been busy devouring the winter wild berries the past couple months!
Just before the recent snow/ice storm, I braked on a remote road heading home when I saw a flock of birds in the berry-filled tree tops alongside the road.
One of the species were Cedar Waxwings!

Putting my car flashers on, I did the best I could from my car window on the constant-moving flock.




There were over 100 Cedar Waxwings, what a treat!
Another species flocking the berries were European Starlings. My focus was all about the waxwings, so I didn’t worry about capturing the starlings. Then one starling popped in front of me nicely; and what a treat, he’s the next post Berry Series star!

Thank you, Sam! It was a cloudy day but the lighting was still impressive!
These are wonderful photos, Donna! And seeing so many waxwings at one time, amazing 😊
Thank you, Belinda! I have been spoiled this past year with their presence. 😊
What a great find for you and the Waxwings! The images are lovely. My favorite is the first one. I’m looking forward to seeing your Starlings too.
Thank you, Deborah! Good thing I could brake and shoot so easily! 😉
One of my favorite birds, such beauties. Great shots, Donna!
Thank you, Eliza! They’re in my top fave bird list too!
You do have a LARGE bumper sticker that warns drivers and everyone that YOU BRAKE FOR BIRDS! Right? 😂
Great photos. Waxwings look so well turned out always
