Berry Firsts

I am always amazed at the level of detail and clarity in your shots Steve, very inspirational and always setting the bar high!

Number 2 is the winner there! Congrats on finally capturing them

Awesome Steve.
They are on my wish list too.

Very nice, Steve, and I envy you your blue skies.

Great stuff Steve

Exceptional!! Simply beautiful.

Wow, those are great pictures!

Wonderful set.

Wow Steve, these are amazing! (Not that I expected anything less from you!) I've seen lots of photos of Bohemian Waxwings on Facebook, but they haven't been spotted in my trees...yet!

Fantastic shots!! I've never had waxwings in my yard but had the pleasure of finally observing a large flock while out camping last summer, they are a real treat to hear and photograph!

Beauty set and congrats on the hand held results.

Thanks. Fortunately I had plenty of light to work with.

That is an absolutely beautiful set. I love the brilliant color of the red berries and the birds together.

Thank you, I do as well. I photographed a Burrowing Owl in a Flame Tree that had a similar feel.

Those colours look super. Will have to plant somme berry trees to have some of those visitors drop by. Good job and excellent details!

Thanks very much.

oh wow- well worth the wait-nicely done

Thanks Bob. In the past I would almost get close enough and they would fly off. I think the plentiful berries kept them there for me.

Thanks Al, blue skies have been rare here this winter. Rain, rain and more rain.

Thanks you so much Sandy. I'd love to see some Bohemians too. Both varieties are a sight to behold.

Thank you Corry. Congrats on the sighting. I rarely see them at home but when I'm near trees that have berries I keep my eyes open for them.
