It is trying to be spring here in Texas, although winter keeps creeping back in as soon as you start to go for those capri pants and short sleeve shirts. Last week I had some stunning little visitors in my bird bath. I tried to get some good shots of these guys, but failed miserably. This black & white image was a lucky shot and I love the light coming through his feathers. These guys are Cedar Waxwings and a google image search will yield better pics than I was able to capture.
These pretty little birds move through here every spring. They hung around a couple of days longer during this migration ... probably due to the berries on one of our hedges. They managed to speckle both the sidewalks and my car with a dark purple stain. I washed my Jeep the 1st day they bombed it only to find it stained again the next day. I can not get too mad ... they are just so beautiful.

Wow that is a beautiful bird, and a beautiful photograph, too!! How velvety the bird looks, and the photograph really makes birdy look angelic. Cool wings.
The name "Cedar Waxwings" sounds like a good song name for the Cocteau Twins. (Random observation of the day... ;) )
Perdy birds. I wish spring birds would come to Colorado soon...this winter has lasted way too long.
Happy Valentine's Day Miss Rebecca! Abby and I send lots of hugs and kisses!
