When the berries are in the tree, the sound of the waxwings can reach SPLs rivaling the parrots (although at a higher frequency).

When the berries are in the tree, the sound of the waxwings can reach SPLs rivaling the parrots (although at a higher frequency). They’re usually up there too high though, so I rarely bother to try for a photo. But with the sun already so hot at 7:30, the shade was clearly the best place to be. Every once in awhile a waxwing would drop down to snatch a berry and after dozens of frustrating attempts, I finally got one!
@Jgbird What a shot!

@Jgbird I love these birds so much with their whistles. I look forward to them coming back each year, I keep thinking I hear them currently in the #willamettevalley back and ready for the spring green-up

@Jgbird I love Cedar waxwings. They are actually pretty common here in North Georgia. My ex-wife could identify them by ear. I’m old enough that they have to be sitting on my shoulder, screaming straight into my ear for me to hear them. Otherwise, they are too high pitched.
I have got a good picture of them, though simply by a fluke accident at a highway rest stop.
I always envy people for their cedar wax wing sightings. Lovely greedy birds. -

@Jgbird That is a phenomenal photo. Makes that cute little waxwing look like the dinosaur-descendant that it is!
