Hi all

Here are a few shots of Bohemian Waxwings. I find these vagrants both beautiful and exotic. Please feel free to comment (C&C).

Sindri, these might just be the very best Waxwing shots that I have ever seen!
The light, brilliant color and feather detail are perfect...

...but then I am always impressed with your work. ;)
