Winged Jewels

Overwintering Monarch Butterflies by Ruby 2417 Via Flickr: Clustering in a pine tree for warmth, as winter approaches. Pacific Grove, Ca. Nov. 2023.

Brunch Buffet - Cedar Waxwing by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: This Cedar Waxwing was lucky enough to find a spider web full of bugs after the wind picked up. As the web came apart the Waxwing was eating the lines of bugs as fast as he could. He probably at his days supply of bugs just on this perch without having to hunt for them one by one like he normally would. Waxwings also like to the fruits off fruit bearing trees and bushes. -Bombycilla cedrorum
