Gail Jackson (no relation!) photographed a lone Cedar Waxwing working on one of two apples still hanging from a tree. It's amazing that these two apples survived all the winter storms and are now providing food for this beautiful bird. Here I think the Waxwing is say, "That's my apple!"

The last of Gail's photos shows the magnificent coloring of this Cedar Waxwing.

Thanks to Gail for allowing me to share her photos with  you here.

Rick and I just got back from a benefit walk for Coastal Seniors' Meals on Wheels, a most worthy charity. It was at Gualala Point Regional Park and the weather was perfect. The waves were enormous, crashing onto the beach with the form reaching the bluff edges. A great day for a great event!
