I thought I’d share this pair of waxwings with y’all. These two were part of a group of dozens feasting on fallen fruit downtown. Most noteworthy are the colors on the tips of the wing and tail feathers of the bottom bird.

These are some pretty brilliant birds for North Dakota! I’m so accustomed to the more common brown birds of various species, but we actually do get a lot of very colorful wildlife up here. It ain’t the tropics, but we do get our colors.
