This spring the Cedar Waxwings got the jump on the winter crab apple-eating Bohemian Waxwings and ate the apples before they were apples. We had over 100 Cedar Waxwings working over the blossoms in May. I doubt there were many apples produced this year on that tree at all. These guys completely cleaned out the blossoms by the time they were done.
Hi John
ReplyDeleteI loved your photos of the waxwings, the colour of the blossoms and the birds really complement each other. I was just watching cedar waxwings catching bugs at a local pond this week so this was very timely.
