On April 8 of this year, I had visitors that I had never had before. From afar, I thought they were simply a bunch of different looking sparrows, come to take a bath and cool drink. Imagine my surprise when I brought out the zoom to find out they were a bunch of Bohemian Waxwings! I didn’t upload them in time for that week’s WW and then, silly me, forgot about them. So, sorry, not sorry, you get a bunch of pics because I couldn’t make up my mind. Just click and scroll 🙂

Hey! I’m talkin’ here!

Good morning & Happy Wednesday. Great catch. Those are also new to me. Here’s a link for more information about them. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bohemian_Waxwing/id# ….

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to you, Frank.
They were having a blast in my pool. I’ve captured them before, but in the arboretum, never in my backyard!

Excellent shots, Dale. We get visits by Cedar Waxwings, and they are the Hell’s Angels of the bird world.

They are! I was thrilled to realise they were not sparrows (not that there is anything wrong with that…) So nice of them to stop by on their trip.

Those ARE different! Wow! Prince would be most inspired to pen a sequel to his long standing classic if he’d laid eyes on these beauties, who are most definitely living their best lives from the looks of it.
Sorry? Not! That’s the way this blog rolls!
Beauty!

Aren’t they the coolest? Love their masks and their cool caps and the splashes of colour. I think Prince would have done them justice, for sure. I know I was beyond chuffed to find so many having their party.
I’m not sorry, either!
Gracias!

I captured a few a couple of years ago in our city’s arboretum – had no idea what they were till I google-image searched them. Plus, I shared the photo and a friend confirmed for me. (I’m rather clueless in birding!)
They really are pretty, aren’t they?
