I've been following a pair of Cedar waxwings. From the gathering of nesting materials in the front yard, to watching them in the tall White pine tree chirping away. It's a busy back yard!

Sharp-shinned on the feeder in winter |
The other day, I figured they were getting closer to laying the eggs. I saw the Waxwing fly from the pine tree to the dead elm, which gives me a great photo-op. When I did my close-ups and crops, you can see she's been plucking feathers for her nest.

I love the Waxwings, they are so pretty. Great post, enjoy your day!
I too love waxwings! Nice post, Jenn!
Such a pretty bird.
They're lovely birds!
You're very fortunate to be able to watch a cedar waxwing nest. Usually there are many that nest together.
Lovely wee bird, and great photos.
Very pretty- have a lovely day!
I just love the spectacular coloring on the Waxwing. I hope they are safe from the hawk.

Outstandingly gorgeous takes Jenn!!! (I admit for a second I was concerned your hawk had done for your darlings - not that it isn't darling in its own way; which is the whole point of nature, heh na?) YAM xx
Lovely photos, it's a wonderful time of year!
You are so lucky to have cedar waxwings on your place! Wonderful.
