Bohemian waxwing and house finch in juniper

The waxwing was eating juniper berries, when the female house finch flew in for a few seconds. The waxwing was undisturbed and continued sitting there while the rest of the flock gathered in the black locust trees nearby. I counted only about 10 this morning, a far cry from the 100+ of last week. However, in the ash woods, there was another flock of about 40. Also around today were cardinals, a common raven flying low over the ravine, a few juncos, two hairy woodpeckers in the ash woods, a white-breasted nutchatch, couple of goldfinches, crows, a bluejay trying to balance on the feeder in the BYG, and of course, many black-capped chickadees.

Waxwings are wonderfully colourful birds. I was watching some in the bushes near home a few days ago.
