INVASION OF THE Cedar Waxwings!!!

So, I'm sitting on the deck this am, early as the sun's just coming up. A rustle of wings in the tree across from me and I look up. I see about 25 birds, all of a feather, with little crowns on their heads...RUBY Crowned Kinglets I think!!

After a minute of observation, I conclude NO, they are not Kinglets as they are too big...

Tonight I get home and I'm on the deck again and suddenly they appear, all as one back in the tree. I see a flash of RED on the wings and some yellow on the tails...CEDAR WAX WINGS!! Invading!

Herewith are a few pics...

BIG PICS, allow a moment to load...
