A mouthful for sure. Nice capture Chris. I'm very jealous (as if I wasn't already :wink: ) this is a species I've been trying and trying to get better shots of for a year or two now without any luck.

Looks like that this little Cedar Waxwing has enough for himself as well as a couple of his friends. :lol: You really nailed this one! Wish it were mine.

Thanks Mike and everyone else.

This may be my last post of the year, heading to new york and can hopefully get some snow shots. Also going to try some wide angle stuff thanks to Scott Leslie's help.

Happy holidays everyone.
