Hi all,

We're back again with another sampling from the backyard. Here are few shots from this past week which include several of our regulars, and a few that we see less often...

Bully Robin:

Another excellent series, Kenn. Such variety! I am very impressed with that last shot because of the feather detail. Not easy to do with this smooth bird. In fact, I don't think I ever saw so much detail in a Cedar Waxwing before. Great work.

Exceptional series Kenn, but no surprise from you. I'm in awe of your Waxwing shots in particular, like Levina mentioned, detail on these smoothies is tough but your efforts really show a bunch of it. Great work on all.

If they only knew how great you make them look your backyard would be overrun with birds.

What a great series, Kenn. As always, superb images. I really like the male Bluebird and the first Waxwing. Gorgeous shots. Keep them coming.

Thanks everybody,

We love all our birds here, but the Waxwings are somewhat rare and very welcome visitors. We have a flock of about 20 or so here now for the past few days... They're enjoying the crabapple berries from the "Magic Tree", so we'll hopefully have a few more shots of them to share here soon.

We really appreciate all the encouraging comments,

Kenn
