This shot is severly cropped. Shot out the window of the car last weekend when I was chasing the owls. Couldn't get a clear shot with so many branches.

Very cool bird ... I don't think I've ever seen one.
Nice captures, Sheldon!

Now you tell me about the wax wings when I've headed for home and about to go and pick up daughter #2 to celabrate the Birthday Season. (Don't ask)
What type of wax wing is it? Bohemian or Cedar?:):):):):):)
Sweet images but i think you really don'r need that 300 f/2.8:):)

They Winter over up there?
I did not know that :)

They are georgous birds,.. and tough to get a good pic of as they are alwyas in the branches... I think I have a few GB of "waxwing" images that are in fact more like "branch studies" that happen to have a waxwing as a back drop ;)
