We took a nice walk in our wonderful Willowbrook nature preserve this afternoon (high 80s) and took some nice shots of a courting couple of Cedar Waxwings. We have so many of them this year, and I think the "F" (fairly common) designation for late Spring by the DuPage Birding Club may have to be re-written as C(ommon) if not A(bundant). They just love the bare branches of dead trees, and the top of our our neighbor's dead Willow sometimes looks like a Christmas trees when flocks of Waxwings and Goldfinches congregate at the same time. This here was a cute scene when he offers a berry treat to his partner!
