We spent the w-e in Emerald Isle watching basketball with a gang of friends, most of whom were disappointed when UNC lost in the semi-final round of the ACC men's basketball tournament on Saturday. Pam and Cindy have a wonderful house they remodeled so that they can live at the beach full-time and work from home. Though they aren't on the beach front, they can see the ocean from their deck and several of the big windows on the front of the house. We kept watching a group of cedar waxwings that were quite taken with their juniper trees and a powerline nearby. I managed to get a photo of the flock in one of their calm moments, all perched on the pole and powerline in an orderly row watching the ocean. It struck me today how rare it is to see the cedar waxwings so close to people and the ocean. Then it hit me that they had settled upon an ideal spot to share with friends with whom they could fly, hang out, eat, and enjoy the scenery. We enjoyed that rare sight/site too.

The shot of the Cedar Waxwings is super cool! How fun!
I would've loved to see them; they're my favorite, together with the Pileated WP of course!
I guess, we will put winning of for the REAL game, Go Heels!! ;-)
