Cedar waxwings are beautiful birds - they love berries so much that they can even get 'drunk' while eating the riper ones, in which case they'll just hang out on the bushes after feasting in a rather lethargic manner. camissonia (Arleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10156059239148602974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-56847116322987369772013-02-01T07:19:32.310-08:002013-02-01T07:19:32.310-08:00absolutely gorgeous!

These Cedar waxwings look quite similiar to the Yellow-vented Bulbuls which frequent my garden. I wonder whether they belong to the same genus.

I don't have a lot of good bird photos because I either have to come pretty close to them, or crop severely. Because my camera only has 10 megapixels, severe cropping usually results in a lot of noise :(Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-82996498154025696262013-01-23T00:26:25.981-08:002013-01-23T00:26:25.981-08:00It might well be a ligustrum lucidum, difficult to...It might well be a ligustrum lucidum, difficult to tell by the pics.
