We spotted a bird yesterday that we didn’t recognize.  I thought it was a tufted titmouse because of the plumage…but when I looked it up, there weren’t any with the brilliant yellow tips on its tail and belly.

Ahhh…it was a cedar waxwing.

What a gorgeous bird.~

We’ve put out food for the Hummingbird feeder.  Our resident Oriole was coming regularly but suddenly stopped.  I suppose it’s found a food source from another area.  It is another beautiful bird and has a beautiful song, as well.

The hummingbirds are comical.  They are soooo tiny–no longer than my pinky finger.  The male’s throat lights up when it drinks, making it look like a red beacon. They are so fast and zip backwards as they leave the feeder.

Cheap entertainment, indeed. 🙂
