AWESOME capture!! I have tried and tried to get ANY bird with a berry in it's mouth and have failed! Beautiful! I love the other shot of the cedar waxwing too. The clouds in it are just beautiful background. #1096578

You're welcome to come to my yard! The cedar waxwings allowed me to stand very near the tree to watch them feasting on the berries. They'll probably do the same for you. Just come any time that's convenient for you. #7271633
