I couldn't believe my luck (and I'm not even Irish!), a flock of Cedar Waxwings landed in my yard this afternoon! Fortunately, one was cooperative enough to perch in the Crepe Myrtle bush so it wasn't backlit by the sky. I think they were eying the neighbors' holly tree so they could pick off the berries. However, the resident "bully" mockingbirds had other ideas and they kept chasing the waxwings away!What a treat it was to see these beautiful birds! They will be flying north soon, so I may not get many more chances to enjoy them.
