Cedar Waxwing: York County, Maine, USA, March 2024 — I have been looking for the flock of Cedar Waxwings that generally winters in town for months now, and while I have seen a few birds here and there with the Robin flock, yesterday was my first good Waxwing encounter of the season. And not once, but twice. Being birds, and prone to flight, I cannot say for sure that I did not see the same flock in two different locations, but I do know that I had two close encounters with 8-10 feeding waxwings. This shot is from the second when a few decided to pick off the last of the red berries on a tree in a yard right by the sidewalk. Great light. Great birds. Red berries. Nice background. What more could any photographer ask? (And I only had this second encounter because I decided to treat myself to a scone before walking home.)
