There have been a number of Bohemian Waxwing flocks around Ottawa over the past month. Here are to shots that I managed.
1. Portrait cropped from a landscape format frame.
2. Full-frame shot while the bird feeds on crab apples.

Alas, this year I had thousands of American Robins pass through here in October and ate all the crab apples and mountain ash berries in the county... so few waxwings will stay for the winter.
