Richard Schear photos
Unfortunately, these pictures will not enlarge well, as they were taken from Dick's home office through a dirty window, and a dirty window-screen. However, I couldn't resist posting these because of the expressions on this Cedar Waxwing's face: first when he spots a shriveled, frozen crabapple, and then when he tries to pick it, only to find it immediately disappears!
Earlier the same day, I saw other birds in our ornamental crabapple tree, knocking the fruit to the ground, then going down to dig it out of the snow. There is still plenty of fruit on the upper branches, but the lower branches have been picked clean by the small herd of mule deer who visit our yard.

Funny! But you never know, perhaps it did fall up?
If we take time to watch, natures creatures will provide endless entertainment.
What a wonderful sighting!
He's looking for someone to blame for this!
This inquisitive avian has it all figured out - until the law of gravity upset his carefully laid plans. It is time for the bird to regroup and find more frozen fruit...
That poor bird. What a priceless expression on its face!
Cute little bugger! Great shadow shot for the day! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Kay! Enjoy and stay warm!!

Ha...these are great shots, Kay! Love the look on the poor guy's face as he tries to figure out what happened! I do hope he was able to find another treat.
I really enjoyed this post as Cedar Waxwings are one of my favourite birds, and we don't see them often out this way.Perhaps you'll post others in the furture!
Do have a wonderful weekend with Dick and Lindy...:)

Pretty birdie! Hugo and I were watching a blue jay and a female cardinal out the kitchen window just yesterday.
Even through the cloudy window, the coloring on that waxwing is just awesome.
MOL..May be the birdy is begging for Miracle ..HA!
They're not only beauties, but they're funny also. Boom & Gary of The Vermilon River, Canada.
I like the humour here, Kay! :)
What an exceedingly handsome bird he is, and one of which I am ignorant - not surprisingly.
So worth posting! Who cares about grime when you can share shots like that!
how cute are these shots. And I agree who cares about a bit of grime when you get to take lovely shots.
A priceless moment! Even the wildlife experience good and bad days!
So very very pretty!!! I do enjoy bird watching...you've captured a bit of nature's perfection here!

Cute shots, the Waxwings are beautiful birds.
what a cutie :)
I've never seen a Cedar Waxwing except in photos, but I think they are the most beautiful birds!
The bird looks quiet angry, maybe because of the dirty windows ? I don't see any dirt, though ! lol !
The countdown starts for your holidays !
Poor guy! I am sure he will find another though. :)
What a humorous post! I love the waxwings.... such interesting looks they have.
He's adorable -- I will look at cedar waxwings anytime through any kind of screen. (And I don't see any dirt. You should see mine..probably couldn't even see the bird through them.)
Gorgeous!
My Shadow post, have a great week ahead.
Lovely, I like those hazy shadows in the back. Very nice shot. Mickie
That waxwing should go down to Tracy's in Brisbane where the kookaburras get daily feasts on her porch!
Lovely bird-they are beautiful, aren't they?
