A little ornithological snow day alliterative humor for this SOLC and Poetry Friday mashup.
I really did have a whole lot of fun watching these masked bandits of the bird world hanging out during the waning hours of our latest nor’easter.

Wow! What a beautiful moment! I had such fun watching the bird frolics at the feeders during the storm, but no cedar waxwings visited up here. I haven’t seen one for years. I love your poem and that amazing picture.

Love those photos, Christie – we have cedar waxwings here, but I’ve never seen so many! And what a simply smashing sample of alliterative splendor!

Love your photographs, Christie! How dare that squirrel come and spoil the tableau. At least it makes for a fun poem, though!

Wow, it really is a syndicate! I love them, rarely see them here. You are fortunate! And your poem, that the squirrel broke up the ‘sit-in’! Wonderful!

Your poem is so clever, Christie! I’m a little jealous you have such a stunning “cedar waxwing society!” I’ve never seen even one at my feeders. Aren’t snow days the best?

LOVE! I used to see these beautiful little birds more regularly in North Georgia, when they would come through and strip the dogwood tree berries. I’ve seen them once since here on the coast, but they were gone in a flash after their “sit in.” The humor in your language is perfect! :0)

These are wonderful! How funny the way they sit all facing the same direction.

We see cedar waxwings occasionally as they migrate from there to there…but it’s been awhile, so thanks for sharing yours!

My mom loved watching and identifying birds, and the cedar waxwing, I always found fascinating because of the name! Love your pictures and your perfectly playful poem!
