cedar waxwings are very pretty birds, but rarely seen around here (San Antonio)
One of my favorites that I do see is the Carolina Wren
We used to live on Lake Placid in Seguin and my wife liked to sleep in on the weekend. These little suckers had different ideas. For a small bird, they can be LOUD! And there were a ton of them.
They're very curious and they crack me up 'cause they're so hyper-kinetic. "Sitting still" has no meaning to them, 'cause they're always bobbing their head and dipping their tail, even when "sitting still." I used to sit out on my balcony with a laptop and play carolina wren songs off the internet to mess with them. A pair had nested in one of our hanging plants, so I sat at the other end of the balcony and played them their "teakettle" song. They got really interested in me then and absolutely freaked when I played their agitated "alert" buzzing song.
