Hey Guys!
Just a few more pics from this week. At my work, we are surrounded by a numerous amount of trees. Since our campus is pretty much deserted, except for us, it is a very private and quiet place. So, the wildlife around there think it is their private sanctuary from the public at large.
Anyway, we have been invaded by Cedar Waxwings. I have been amazed at the speed, and agility of these small birds. What I have truly enjoyed is watching these birds sit on the very end of a tree limb, and ride the wind. Just sitting there bouncing in the breeze! WOW!!!! It is amazing.
It seems we have probably over 100-200 of these birds at any one time. Here's an interesting fact, a group of waxwings are collectively known as an "ear-full" and a "museum" of waxwings. So, here's a few pics of the "Ear-full"that I took this week!
Every time I witnessed this ritual, my thoughts raced to what it would be like to do just that. Ride, ever so lightly on a tree limb. Now I know that will never happen, but as I have lost my weight, I get closer each and every day! So, if you ride by Belmont Blvd in Nashville, and see someone in a tree...take solace in knowing it's just me, riding in the breeze!
As a side note, here's my newest bird feeder! For those that are curious, my brother-in-law, gave this feeder to my wife several years ago at Christmas. Well, this last year, the wine bottle broke. We were all ready to throw it out, and I got a great idea. I substituted an empty Da Vinci Sugar Free Peanut Butter syrup bottle, and Viola! A diet friendly bird feeder!
Have a nice day!
