These are fabulous pictures! I'm into Birding, mostly in my backyard in Dalton GA. I've yet to see a Cedar Waxwing tho'. But I do have some Rose-breasted Grosbeaks! There are 2 males and one female so far. They are black and white with a shock of red on their chest. I thought it was a bird that had been shot at first! My birding book shows just a tiny strip where they might come to the north GA mountains. It's so exciting that I have seen three already!

I saw several of these beautiful birds in Rowlett TX today. I was surprised as I had never noticed them around here before. Your pictures helped me positively identify what I had been watching!

These are beautiful! Is the Cedar Waxwing a "cousin" of the Cardinal?
By the way, I am Julie Bracker's mom.

What beautiful pictures you take. What kind of camera do you use, if you don't mind my asking?

I love the Cedar Waxwing pictures in particular. I've been in love with these little bandit-looking birds ever since I rescued one several months ago. A fledgling had fallen out of his nest and was sitting dazed and helpless in the middle of a busy road. I managed to scoop him up (he tried his best to bite me) and take him to my local wildlife center. I live in Mississippi, and I had never seen a Waxwing here, and haven't seen another one since. Were these all taken in Atlanta parks or rural settings?
