Interesting pictures, Gary. The Cedar Waxwings are actually Bohemian Waxwings and the Swans appear to be Trumpeter Swans not Mute swans. Adult Mute swans have an orange bill with a large black knob on it. The head shape looks more like the Trumpeter which would be an unusual bird for MI. The third one is actually a bushy tailed rat! LOL

Nice shots! What were the Waxwings finding in the juniper? Berries?

I believe juniper berries are used to make gin. Maybe those Bohemians are bootleggers.

Well, maybe not make gin, but to give it its unique flavor and aroma.
