Cedar Waxwing

I did an afternoon walk with some friends at Nisqually NWR a week or so ago and took the camera along, just in case.  I'm glad I did as there were a number of Cedar Waxwings along the main pond behind the visitor center.  They were perching in dead branches along the main trail where it borders the pond and hawking for insects-a behavior that was new to me in this species, but obviously not new to them.  While they tended topic awfully twiggy perches this one chose one that was pretty clear, though there was a vertical crossing twig just behind the tail tip that I eliminated digitally.  This is the first time I've managed to photograph one with the red wax tips on the tail, though I have gotten them on the wing before.

7D2, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, monopod, f/8, 1/640, iso 2000, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped from the sides to a 4x5 format, full height.  Taken at 1:06 pm on June 21st under a light overcast.

Thanks for taking a look,
