A visit from the Cedar Waxwings. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Recently, early morning, a flock of beautiful Cedar waxwings took a 

short break in our backyard trees. I first noticed about a dozen squabbling

 over whom would get a drink from the birdbath. 

I ran for the camera but by the time I returned to the window they

 were up on the branches with about 20 more birds, all preening before moving

 on to wherever they were headed, probably back up north. Such lovely birds.

I'm still visiting in Branson, Missouri.
Yes, enjoying the music and being with friends.
Weather has turned cold after the stormy night but will
 warm up again tomorrow.
