always think of them as bandits with their fabulous markings!

  I think they’re warm weather birds. Not sure they’re anywhere on the mainland yet.

    They remind me of cedar waxwings we have here.

So good of the waxbill to pose for you and it’s a great shot.

  Truth is, there were quite a few of them and I got about three decent photos out of 30 or so. They were very flighty!
