This waxwing was taken shortly after the sun rose over the mountains to the east. When I lived in Ohio I hardly ever saw these birds . Here in western Montana the streamsides are lined with chokecherries which attract literally hordes of these birds in the fall, and they hang around the riparian areas hawking insects over the water all summer. This was taken along a creek by my house. The background had some noise reduction. The bird was sharpened a bit. I did not adjust the color saturation - this is how it came from the camera.
