Not Partridges and Not a Pear Tree

While out looking for interesting birds today a series of high frequency squeaks caught my attention. Without looking around I knew I was hearing Cedar waxwings. The questions was where were they.

A quick glance up revealed a small flock of the waxwings enjoying today’s unusually warm sun. I hoped they would come down to eat berries near me for better photos, but that did not happen. The best I saw of them was looking up from the bottom. Even their yellow-striped tail is difficult to see. Maybe next time will offer better views.
