The most recent pictures were taken when around 20 of the birds gathered at a crabapple tree in Dorn鈥檚 front yard.
There are three species of waxwings. The birds in Dorn鈥檚 yard are Bohemian waxwings.
These birds, which breed in northern forests, feed mostly on fruit, but also will feed on sap, buds, flowers and insects when fruit is not available.
They tend to next near water and in areas with rich supplies of fruit.
In the Okanagan Valley and much of the B.C. Interior, the birds can be found year round.
