A large flock landed in these trees and ate berries until geese flying over made them nervous and they flew off. A wise precaution: do not park your car (or yourself) under a tree full of Waxwings that have just gorged on berries!

A beautiful image! Love everything about this. One of the better Waxwing images I've seen anytime.

This is a killer image. What a great perch. Good point about not being under the tree :lol:

Ken, this is just beautiful. I'm not sure if that's a OOF limb or a cloned out limb in the BG, but I might soften it up to blend more.

Ken,
Killer shot! Love the background. Hard to get them without a cluttered background too.

You have a good eye Alan somehow I missed this. No cloning was performed to the left of the bird in the original. Cloned the OOF limb and smudged same in the repost. If I print this one I will spend more time cleaning it up.

Ken,

Beautiful shot. I like the color that is added by the berries. The background color complements the bird perfectly.
