I HAVE BEEN SPENDING A LITTLE TIME IN MY SEWING ROOM AND HAVE A VIEW OF THE BAY AND NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE ROAD.
YESTERDAY I HAPPENED TO LOOK OUT AND NOTICED TWO TREES FULL OF BIRDS. I WAS REALLY HOPING THESE WERE NOT SPARROWS WAITING TO DESCEND ON MY
BIRD FEEDERS!
THE TREES ARE ON THE PROPERTY BEHIND SHEM'S HOUSE. SHEM IS A LADY ACROSS THE STREET WHO LOVES FLOWERS AND GARDENING AS MUCH AS I DO.
SHE HAS A MOUNTAIN ASH THAT ATTRACTS CEDAR WAXWINGS BY THE DOZEN.
I TRIED GETTING A CLOSE UP OF THE BIRDS BUT DID NOT GET A GOOD SHOT.
AND BECAUSE IT WAS SO CLOUDY, IT WAS HARD TO GET THE COLOR OF THESE BEAUTIFUL BIRDS. I SHOULD HAVE BUNDLED UP AND HEADED OUT IN THE COLD TO GET A BETTER PICTURE. I KEPT THINKING THEY WOULD MOVE TO THE TREE NEXT DOOR. OH WELL, THEY WERE FUN TO WATCH USING MY BINOCULARS.
VERY HARD TO SEE BUT THERE ARE STREAKS OF YELLOW AMONG THE BERRIES.
THEY MOVED SO FAST, THERE WAS NO WAY TO FOCUS ON THEM. THAT MADE ME WISH FOR AN SLR WITH A TELEPHOTO LENS!
