I love Cedar Waxwings. They are beautiful birds and marvelous flyers. In summer you’re as likely to find them flitting about over rivers in pursuit of flying insects, where they show off dazzling aeronautics for a forest bird. That's what some of them were doing when I saw them at Alton Baker Park. Once in a while they would land on the bridge rail, giving me a chance to get some photos.
