Last week our pine trees were graced by the presence of a family of cedar waxwings. Their whistling call was easy to identify, but the birds were hard to find. That's because a pair of partially hidden, fluffy fledglings were calling to their parents, who later returned with meals for them. The bottom photo is one of the fledglings, and the middle photo is one of the parents, watching us watch them.
The top photo is of brant that were walking along the beach on the north side of Alsea Bay, on Saturday. These geese were probably molting their plumage, as there were 22 of them, they looked rather motley, and they showed no inclination to fly off.
cute little birds :D
