Flight of the Bumblebee

This huge bumblebee was having a great meal at my honeysuckle bush. He moved pretty slowly which allowed me to get some fun close up shots.

I love how he grabbed the flower and put his whole face into it to drink in a big gulp of nectar!

Cedar Waxwings in the Mulberry Tree

Cedar Waxwings are one of my favorite birds, but they aren't often seen as they are nomadic. They don't frequent feeders but they do love berries and they usually come in flocks of 15-20. They make a high pitched zee zee sound and they are so much fun to watch. Their name comes from the way their wings look like they were dipped in red wax and their tails are dipped in yellow.



After gorging himself on the berries, this little guy thought it might be fun to take a bath in the fountain.
