Cedar Waxwings: Captured in My Own Backyard

Enjoy this compilation of photographs and videos that I captured while the Cedar Waxwings ravaged the cherry tree in my back yard. Most of the still are previously published on my Facebook page, Instagram, and Vero with the tag #WaxwingWeek2024, however the video is all previously unseen.

Hi Craig, The Cedar waxwings are very charismatic and this goes to show you can get a lot by focusing on what is close at hand in photography!

[@craigpiferphotography]

Absolutely. No need to go somewhere for photos when a great subject comes to you. Thanks for watching.

Wow how cool that is to have that in you back yard. Great photos and videos

[@craigpiferphotography]

Thanks for watching. I look forward to their return each year.

What great footage you got there Craig. Some amazing shots in there too. Those cherries look so big in the video, I’m surprised they can eat them. It’s funny how similar our backyards are. We also have a cherry tree, but it’s much bigger and the cherries are smaller.

So many varieties of cherries out there. The birds typically disappear before the cherries are ripe and seem to want them while still green/yellow. Thanks for watching.

Great video!

[@craigpiferphotography]

Thank you so much.

Great videos and images of the waxwings Craig. Nice one

[@craigpiferphotography]

Thank you. They have easily become one of my favorite birds and are so fun to watch.

@@craigpiferphotography it comes through in your photos, they are awesome. I wish I had something like that.

@AndyHPhotography my family gives me a hard time because I get excited about "my birds" showing up.

[@AndyHPhotography]

@@craigpiferphotography sounds like you have the same problem I have when I see birds of prey 😂

Awesome, you must be in a good area for the Cedar waxwings. I have cherry trees around my area and I get no waxwings. In the fall I have had waxwings come to a English hawthorn.
