19. We once had the cedar waxwings stop off in our back yard back in the 80's.

They filled our crabapple tree and the ground underneath it just like the picture here! I had never seen one before and I though it was a flock of parrots they were so beautiful!

It was about 5:45 in the a.m. as I was just heading out to work. I woke my husband up out of a dead sleep, and he got out our fancy camera and took a ton of pics! He was as shocked as I was. The pictures are here somewhere in our basement in a storage box. This picture in our photo contest sure brought back memories of a really exciting experience!
