Seen while fishing a secret spot this evening with a favorite fishing buddy (Joe). No fish, just tangled lines and a few nibbles. And a few good birds.
FC- They seem to be doing just fine around here. Interesting observation...
Webb- This one and a few others did not fly away from the alder where they were perched when Joe and I came close. Perfect photo opp! Some of them were hovering and swooping over the creek to catch bugs, which I hope were mosquitoes. And if I planted a shrub that kept its berries over winter, I might even see its cousin, the Bohemian waxwing.
You had perfect company. It sounds heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these guys are in trouble or have just changed their route.
ReplyDeleteI used to see swarms of CW's that would descend on a hackberry or holly tree and strip it like one giant organism.
I haven't seen that in a long time and I am out there a lot.
They are such cool birds. I keep hoping they will come strip a bush for me so that I can see them again!
ReplyDeleteLynne- it was. Heavenly.
