For the cedar waxwings to eat every single berry on my pyracantha!
Taken through my dirty office window:
Yummy!
Almost Done!

The hummingbirds are back and I've an Indigo Bunting hanging about.

(15,812 posts)Wonderful. I only have one shot of an indigo bunting and it's not that great. But I cherish it for its scarcity, at least in my files, LOL.

(90,762 posts)Haven't got a great shot of him yet. He flies away as soon as I get too close for him. The other birds are used to me more or less.
Here's a bad shot or two.
Also have a blue-gray gnatcatcher hanging around. He doesn't get too close at all.
Here's a greedy little bird.

(15,812 posts)Thinking positively for your getting an even better photo of that indigo bunting though.

(34,136 posts)They only ate about a third of the berries. The goldfinches and chipping sparrows started raising a ruckus and I think that scared the waxwings. The flock of 18-20 flew to the water trough we leave dripping over, took wet sand baths and then they all flew away.

(34,136 posts)I was moving plants around in the garden and taking a break when they showed up. Even if I'd been fast enough to grab the camera, my hand were covered in red clay so I wouldn't have wanted to handle my camera.
Here are some shots from a few years back when the waxwings would come to the birdbath at the old house - only about 100 yards from where the holly is now:

Great shots and brilliant color in the first ones. Like the story, of course.
