Wow what a great capture; I don't think we have these around here...at least I have never seen them. #9223810Philippe Vieux-Jeanton February 09, 2011
Amazing this purple fringing... (What the camera again? :) #9223821Michelle Alton February 10, 2011
Fascinating...perhaps they had all been infested with biting bugs? #9224118Sarah A. Christian February 10, 2011
What a fantastic capture, Phyllis!!! Absolutely remarkable encounter and photo! Excellent all the way through. #9224147Kathy Cline February 10, 2011
OMG Phyllis!! Your so lucky! My birdbath is so boring with only morning doves and black birds. What a KILLER shot! Have a blessed day. #9224291Courtenay Vanderbilt February 10, 2011
Wow! Fantastic action! I don't get cedar waxwings...wonder why? #9224529Karen Slagle February 10, 2011
Fantastic capture, Phyllis. This is too funny. I have only seen Waxwings once and they swooped down all at once on an evergreen tree and picked it clean and off they went, never to be seen again. #9224550
