When the berries are in the tree, the sound of the waxwings can reach SPLs rivaling the parrots (although at a higher frequency). They’re usually up there too high though, so I rarely bother to try for a photo. But with the sun already so hot at 7:30, the shade was clearly the best place to be. Every once in awhile a waxwing would drop down to snatch a berry and after dozens of frustrating attempts, I finally got one!

@Jgbird I love Cedar waxwings. They are actually pretty common here in North Georgia. My ex-wife could identify them by ear. I’m old enough that they have to be sitting on my shoulder, screaming straight into my ear for me to hear them. Otherwise, they are too high pitched.
I have got a good picture of them, though simply by a fluke accident at a highway rest stop.
I always envy people for their cedar wax wing sightings. Lovely greedy birds.
