Love in the Willows

Uploaded: May 28, 2007 21:14:15

Description

ISO 1000, f/6.3, 1/640 sec, Canon 600mm IS lens +1.4X extender, tripod. Cropped and minor adjustments in PSCS2. While birding today, I was fortunate to come upon two Cedar Waxwings engaged in an interesting courtship ritual. They would pass a berry back and forth between each other, each holding the berry for a couple of seconds, then quickly but smoothly pass the berry back again. There were several pairs of Cedar Waxwings gathering nesting material in the vicinity as well.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
