We used to have cedar waxwings twice a year on their annual migrations. Unfortunately bird flu took its toll on our birds. I no longer see many of the smaller birds, just an occasional English sparrow, and our magpies are gone. I see a robin or two when the white mulberry is fruiting. Luckily we still have a pair of scrub jays, a mockingbird, and the crows visit in the spring and summer. Up in the hills at our trailer we still have several varieties of finches and many hummingbirds. My daughter lives on the other side of the Sierras and still has lots of magpies.

I have only seen Cedar waxwings once in my life and that was over 25 years ago. When I stayed home with my son, he was about three years old. We were lucky enough to have them stop at our house during their migration. There were hundreds of them on our Holly bushes, and they wiped out every berry on the bushes in just a few hours!

I saw one today while we were doing yard work. I was so excited to see it I almost trampled the flowers I just finished planting when I turned to go tell JT. So glad I didn't.
