Getting Settled

	Getting Settled f/8, 1/1250 sec., ISO 400; EF 300mm f/4l IS USM 1.4x Cedar Waxwings Stephen Shoff

This was a flock of Cedar Waxwings getting settled. They spend a lot of time watching me watching them. I hadn't seen these before, but apparently they are native, not just birds migrating through.

Bird season in my back yard seems to be getting an early start. You may get pretty tired of birds from me by the time this is over. Hopefully I'll get more behavior rather than portraits.

Shooting note: I did scale back to my FF 5DMII from the 50D so that I could try to track birds in flight at some cost in frame filling images with maximum resolution and size potential.
