Yesterday the cedar waxwings came, and came, and came. I never saw so many birds at one time. Every tree in our area wall full of them. As I stood in our driveway they flew around me, over me, right by my head. The air was alive with their excited voices and the fluff of their wings. I
did get a video but not the one I wanted. They clung to our old pine tree and they were as thick on it as pine cones, they hung upside down and scrambled for a seat. I really wondered if the tree might tip over from their weight. I thought I was getting that on the camera but I messed up and didn't get it. But it's in my memory. I'm so glad I was there for the show. . Diane
What a good shot that is, Diane - they look like decorations on the tree.
ReplyDeleteI heard that somewhere in the US thousands of blackbirds have just fallen out of the sky - I believe it was in Arkansas. Very strange!
Thats like right out of a Hitchcock film....and how did you know I wiped out this afternoon on that ice getting the coal with Cory! thank God for the padding this afternoon!!
ReplyDeleteWow Diane... That's alot of birds in one place... I love the Cedar Waxwings --and remember the first time I saw them. We were looking for a waterfall --and I saw a bunch in a tree. I was so excited --even moreso than the waterfall... ha ha
