I was only trying to get the waxwing on the left, and I didn't even see the waxwing on the right in the viewfinder (it wasn't until I got home to process images that I discovered it).    

Nikon Z 9 & Z 800mm @ f/8, 1/4000, ISO 3200, handheld from the kayak.

Click on the image to see it larger.

Full screen size version can be seen here.

Gosh, those are speeding off - nice find.
Impressed what you see from your canoe.

Nicely done, the right one really adds, given the angle of flight.

Great poses and background colors, Pete, Waxwings are such cool-looking birds.

Great discovery, to find them both sharply in focus! Especially since it was taken from a kayak. Still waters, perhaps? ;)

Not really, but lots of crimping edits for a keeper (or two).  :lol:
