Yes, they are...and a big surprise.

I suppose that they must have passed through here before. I can't think of anything new around the Valley that would've made this year particularly special. This is the first time I can recall seeing them, though; maybe I'm just paying a bit more attention since there's been so much plant damage due to the Easter Freeze.

Anyhoo, in going out to get some work done this morning, there they were (about 30 of them, coming/going) up in the Tree of Death. Thanks to reading many past posts of all you able avianistas, I put together the little masks and the grouping tendencies to make the guess at cedar waxwings.

The tree that captured their congregation? A Pterocarya...thus the thread:

Where's waxwing?

Why...in the wingnut.
