Cedar Waxwings are beautiful birds that travel in large flocks.  We had a few come into the crab apple tree & I hoped they were the only ones, a small flock.  Of course, I was wrong, they were the scouting party apparently.  Soon after a huge flock came by & pretty much took care of the berries/tiny apples on the flowering crab.  It's kind of frustrating, on one hand I'm glad to see these birds & glad to feed them, on the other, there goes a big food source for the ruffed grouse & the pileated woodpecker.  It is as it should be someone told me recently, he's right.  Deep breath & some pics of the pileated coming up next.
Well, you're getting the pileated now.  I'm glad he comes around.
Here's a waxwing.  Note the branches in the background, pretty bare.
The Daily DoeBuck
I know I've been leaning a lot to the masculine side in The Daily Doe feature, but I've been slacking about getting more doe pics.  As usual, it's not a such a big deal, but, well, yeah I'm a slacker.
As usual, dear reader, click 'em to big 'em.
