These pictures are from February 29th when Cedar Waxwings, Desert Mistletoe berries and Western Bluebirds were observed on a mesquite tree at Sabino Canyon. There are still some berries left but the waxwings and bluebirds have probably migrated by now.

They come and get drunk off of our berries and then leave....what a bunch of party poopers:) I remember entering a grove where Robins and Waxwings this year were acting all crazy in the air. It was fun to watch:)
Diane!

good week for You!

I love the little black masks.... so mysterious and rather handsome.
You always have the best photos of Sabino Canyon. They should hire you to be their official photographer
cheers, parsnip
beautiful pictures! The birds look happy to be there, probably as happy as I am to be in the Sonoran desert!
Hello! Wonderful post!
Those berries must look luscious to the cedar waxwings and bluebirds.
Wow..the berries look so beautiful in the sunlight, and the birds are pretty!
I have never heard of desert mistletoes. The berries look so pretty, they really caught my eye.
Bellas aves en festín.
Un abrazo.
The birds must have tempted by the berries.
The two birds in the pic look so so cool! They look like they have shades on hehe...
Great pictures, Diane... I love seeing the Cedar Waxwings... Gorgeous birds.
Hugs,

I was walking in the desert recently and was hit by a very nice smell. It turned out to be these same berries. I picked a piece of the plant so I could ID it, and sure enough, Desert Mistletoe. Great post!
your blog always makes for a great visit
I am so jealous, but so thankful you share these beautiful pictures with us. I would have loved to see the Cedar Waxwings. What a treat!
Lovely pictures of birds & berries !
It's a pleasure to view your photos!
That is a particularly nice image of the solitary Cedar Waxwing and I like the mistletoe berries draping down over the branch in the image above the CW. All very lovely.
