Twelve Days

Waxwing in a crabapple tree

On the First Day …

Well, I did not have a post for the First Day of Christmas in the series that Margaret at Pyrenees to Pennines had lured me into. When I had searched through my archives I joined in later on. There were two candidate photos for the first day. Seems fitting that I share them here.

As best as I can remember, I have never met a partridge. I have no idea what kind of tree that is in the photo above. Besides, it is a fake bird. So this clearly would not do.

Here is my other offering:

Waxwing in a crabapple tree

Not a partridge here either, it is a waxwing, and it isn’t a pear tree but a crabapple tree. Just try singing …

… On the first Day of Christmas my true love gave to me a waxwing in a crabapple tree …

Doesn’t roll off the tongue too well, does it? Well, it gets better over at 2C2V, go take a look:

    1. Thank you, Margaret. Now can I go back to photographing thrashers, mockingbirds, hummingbirds, robins, hawks, jays, owls, and all the others that visit here?
