Cedar Waxwing

This morning I heard a different bird sound out our bedroom window. I looked out and saw this group of Cedar Waxwings in a tree. I ran and got my big camera with the big lens and captured this photo. Another bird to add to the list!

Mallard

This evening we went to dinner at a restaurant by the Potomac River in Georgetown. While walking along the river we saw lots of birds and ducks. I didn’t have my big camera but I did have my iPhone. I took this picture of a Mallard swimming along. It’s not the best photo but it is another bird to add to the list.
