Cedar Waxwings

I  took a trip through Crex today even though it was raining. After 3 straight days of rain I was going stir crazy. I happened to see a pair of Cedar Waxwings on the corner of East and North Refuge Rd. I watched them as they pointed their heads upwards in unison several times and then they mated. I was pretty far away but snapped a few pictures anyway. When I got home I could see that one Waxwing had a small berry in it's mouth. Doing some research I found out this is part of their courtship. They pass a berry between them.  Interesting...

Night Games

These guys seem to be having a blast. I was reminded of dance recitals that we attended in years past. This den is exposed and would have made a great site for photography except virtually all activity has been at night.
