Great pic's,,,, saw a couple Pilleated the other day and our 1st Robin yesterday,,,, the songbirds are back but haven't seen them yet, can hear them though,,,,
Great pics, especially the cedar waxwing. They are very beautiful birds but the mess they make in a flock is very ugly. They love to eat those blue / purple berries of loriope when they are down here in the winter. Their droppings have a nasty purple stain, especially on my white pickup truck! Ha!
I believe you are seeing holdovers from the winter, as they migrate down here from the North during the colder months.
