    The coloring on the Cedar Waxwing is just so amazing! I've never seen one in the wild. Very dramatic!

    I love the waxwings - something kinda cheeky, regal and grand about them!

    Gorgeous shot of the Cedar Waxwing, we don't see them in this area. He is a very handsome fellow.

    I just think Cedar Waxwings are the most elegant birds...

    (and you are very right. You would most definitely NOT enjoy living through Florida's tropical summers!)
