My first waxwing

I haven't posted anything in quite some time. I've wanted a pic of one of these for a long time, they migrate through our area but are not native. I missed them in the fall but managed to get a capture this year.

Beautiful shot Jerry....wish these were around here all year long, I only caught a brief glimpse of one this winter, and by the time I realized what I was seeing and could grab the camera he was gone.

Thank you Sharon. That was me last fall. They came earlier this year than I expected but luckily they hung out for a couple of days this time stripping the berries on the holly trees.

Beautiful shot of a bird I would love to see! I'm kind of a clone freak, so I might take out the end of the leaf under the birds beak, the little piece sticking down from the top, and tone down the hot area bottom right. But that's just me! Nice image!

Nice shot of a Cedar Waxwing..Great looking species. I think Steve's cloning suggestion is worth investigating..

NIce shot!!!!!

Great shot of a beautful bird.

So I took a moment and fixed it a bit, just so you could see it. I'll remove it after you comment.

That does look better, I'll see what I can do.

What a beautiful bird.

Firsts are always great and a Cedar Waxwing is a beautiful bird to have in your gallery. I agree with the cloning suggestion, and might even take it a bit further to include the upper portion of the leaf. Excellent image nonetheless.
