Waxwing day
Although the day varies, every year a flock of Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) descends to gorge on berries in our yard. Today was the day in 2019! There were ~40 birds here this morning.
The birds tend to alternate between eating berries and resting in nearby branches. Since they're in the yard for a little while, there are opportunities for close-ups. Here are a few of my favorite from 30 December 2019:

Thanks, Sue! They're beautiful birds, and it's amazing to watch them gobble up so many berries in so little time!
