It was pretty exciting to see an owl in a nearby tree.
Far more often this time of year, this is what I see.
Can you count all the Cedar Waxwings?
They are very social birds - so much so that the males do not scout out and defend individual territories.
In late September / early October I have a mix of mature and juvenile birds.
Look at the rumpled guy on the right.
I wish they'd come in a bit closer.
Here they are in flight.
I think there must be well over 50 birds.
I really like the bottom photo of the owl in your header. You can tell your photographer father that!! :D
ReplyDeleteAnother great header, I love the way you've combined the real owls with the stitched ones
ReplyDeleteYour headers are always so interesting! Owls are fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the huge "flock" of birds!! I'm wondering if it's noisy when they all arrive?!
What a great header! I've only seen an owl twice in my life. I cannot believe how many cedar waxwings you have Beth. They are just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is one great header!!!
