Cedar Waxwing

[Jim Crosswell]

I took this image a couple of weeks ago at a local conservation area. I was taking pictures of a Song Sparrow when a flock of Waxwings landed nearby. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Great pose on this guy Jim. I like the angled perch and the BG is great. Really makes the Waxwing stand out.

Nice in its simplicity. I'd look into lightening the iris just a wee bit. Don't you love it when surprise visitors show up!!

Very nice Jim! The waxwing really stands out against the BG!
