The Cedar Waxwing Tree

We decided to take a nice long walk this morning
 with the dogs that we are looking after this weekend
 because it was especially nice out for this time of year.

We were passing the corner house that has the two juniper trees that attract so many birds.
Two years ago we discovered a flock of cedar waxwings hanging around in these trees.
We were just talking about it, that it was around Dec 2  2010.........when,,,,,,,
we walked a little further.....
and we spoted these birds in this tree and they didn't sound like sparrows.
I happen to have my camera on me so we could zoom in a bit and snap photos to see
what they were when we got home.
They are a flock of Cedar Waxwings. They are back!

No, It Is Not A Large Robin!


The Man From the Office caught This on Camera Today.
He was so excited to see it. He loves seeing Hawks.
He saw it land twice and he managed to have the camera ready.
He was so excited!
He took me for a drive once on a highway
just to show me them lined along the highway sitting in tall trees.
It was Cool, but I still like Blue Jays better.
and NO...it did not catch any birds or any little dogs.  
It is a Sharp-Shinned Hawk.
