I love waxwings.. I once had the opportunity to view them out of my back yard as they were going thru.. they stopped and chattered for about 15 minutes up in our tree. Facinating.. Nice job.

Love the waxwings. Tough to get as they seem to prefer being up high around here. Nice peek at the red on the wing and yellow on the tail. Glad to see all those berries-but wish they weren't right behind the head.

Looks like this bird is ready for a berry banquet! I agree it would be better if the dark berries were not right behind the head.
