Cedar Waxwing

The Cedar Waxwings arrived ahead of the Robins this year.

Arrival of the Cedar Waxwings

Crabapple Feast

These little piggies, I mean Robins, are gorging themselves on the crabapples that have hit the ground.  There were something in the range of 250-300 Robins that descended upon our neighborhood stripping all of the crabapples and hackberries from the trees.  The Robins fought with Cedar Waxwings for the crabapples.
