There’s always an Audubon Society-sponsored Christmas bird count that naturalists and bird lovers do every year. While I didn’t do that, I did enjoy the easiest bird watching ever, right outside the door of our rental house.
I shared the photo above on Facebook already, so you may have already seen it, but I was so happy to get a good shot of the cedar waxwings taking off from the tree where they’d been feasting on berries. I love all the different wing positions.
The waxwings were there all day, singing harmony when my kids were playing music, and just being beautiful.
I did try to get photos of the other birds, but I had to do it through the patio door, and that was awful. So, here’s a plain old list of who I saw!
- Cardinals
- Cedar Waxwings
- Eastern bluebirds
- English sparrows (of course)
- Mockingbirds
- Robins
- Tufted titmice
- Yellow warblers (yay!)
As you can imagine, it was quite colorful!
