Nature notes on Cedar Waxwings

Yesterday I noticed movement in our High Bush Cranberry Tree. Reaching for my camera I found the id very easy to make when seeing the yellow tip of the tail and the dark mask of a Cedar Waxwing. I was surprised as I had never seen the waxwings feed on the cranberry blossoms before tho I have photographed them feeding on the ripe berries in the fall as seen in the photo below. I had been hoping for days to catch some waxwings feeding on my neighbour's apple blossoms like they do each year,as seen in the photo below taken on June 11th, 2008.These birds are very beautiful when seen among the delicate pink and white blossoms.for several years before blogging I had kept daily notes on bird activity I had noted in and around our feeder area at Bird Alley. Looking back on my notes now helps me know what to anticipate and look for. I see that other years at this time I had found both white and Pink Lady Slippers growing in thewoods in an area which I often frequent. I shall have to look and see if I can find some over the next few days.My nature notes are of great value to me.
