Patience

I waited quietly for the Waxwings to return.

I am smitten.

They are 7 inches or 18 cm long. They are flocking birds.

  1. Dear Sprite,
    I was closer today when the Waxwings came. I had gone out to the deck to read and wait. Here they came in so I was able to take outside photos. I put apples out for them so if they come back tomorrow they will have a nice treat.
    I was very, very pleased with these photos.
    Ahhhh.....

  2. Smitten, indeed! Who wouldn't be by these beauties! I haven't seen them in our back yard, but they made an appearance each year in the house my parents used to own.

    Lovely.

  4. Hi Mary,
    I am very, very excited to have the Waxwings about. They are new to my gardens and I hope they become regular visitors. How fun for your parents to have them come every year..
    You are welcome for comment. It is fun to have feedback.
    I will visit you again soon.

  5. Dear Deb,
    Oh my stars, I am so very pleased.
    There are lots of different birds in Missouri, some I have never seen, like the Waxwings. In February I bought a stained glass piece of a Cedar Waxwing and added it to the list of birds to study.
    I have done some reading about them and now I get to watch them.
    Dreams can come true!
