Hi biobabbler, I love cedar waxwings too and remember them swooping around marshy areas along roadsides when traveling. These handsome fellas are rare but welcome at the birdbath,…they wonder what’s wrong, though,…the water there is often frozen when they come!

We don’t see them every year, but usually late Dec and early Jan they come for a brief visit. They are so beautiful! We love them!

We have lots of Bluejays that feed here in IA in the Winter, too! Such fun to watch them from the cozy warmth inside to the Winter Wonderland outside! My hubby keeps the feeders filled & we get several species: Cardinal (a fave); Woodpeckers …both Downy & Red-breasted; & the ‘dainty’ Chickadee; pretty gray Junco bird; Purple Finch; & several types of Sparrows…& I’m sure I’m missing a few species, too. Anyway, very beautiful! TFS your world, Sue Langley!

I LOVE Steller’s jays, and we, too, have them (of course, since we’re not far from you, and at about 3500 feet), but I’d not noticed WHEN we see them. Thanks for the heads up.

I kinda doubt this counts as a bird I particularly like to watch in my backyard, as I see them so seldom, but cedar waxwings make me SWOON. MAN they are beautiful. I also love hermit thrushes. Such sweet, big eyes, and I love that speckled chest. Thanks for the birdy-clue. =) xo
