Beginning on the 20th of the month or so, I started hearing a high-pitched whistling sound.

Finally on the 23rd of the month I saw them!

A small group of Cedar Waxwings.

So for several mornings in a row I've found a group of birds perched high up in a large Douglas fir tree.

They then fly off for the day. 

I think they are among the most handsome birds that I see up near the house.

They do not ever come to the feeders, but will come for water.

They are insect and fruit/berry eaters.  I'll see them on and off through October.
