Gord MacEachern February 09, 2011

Wow Phyllis this is an amazing capture, love it!!
We do get some Cedar Waxwings, but not near as many as I would like. I haven't been able to capture any yet. #9223808

SaMi Martin February 09, 2011

Wow what a great capture; I don't think we have these around here...at least I have never seen them. #9223810

Philippe Vieux-Jeanton February 09, 2011

Amazing this purple fringing... (What the camera again? :) #9223821

Michelle Alton February 10, 2011
