The cedar waxwing

These are such beautiful birds. He would dive over the creek and catch a bug, then back up on the branch.

[Ellen E]

wow - he stood still for you. This shot is on my list. Considering I've only seen cedar waxwings once, it could be a while before I get my dream shot. The one shot I got was so blurry, I turned it into a painting. http://365project.org/ellen/album-2/2011-02-21

[Kd Wallis]

they ARE gorgeous birds!! their feathers always look SO smooth!!! you captures him so well!

[Margaret Tryon]

@ellen They are flying over the creek that is a half mile from my home. So I sit on a rock in the middle of the creek and shoot away. I'm glad you got one. I went and checked out your picture. That was a great way to handle a blurry shot. I love how it turned out. I'll remember that idea.

[Margaret Tryon]

@molizard It's funny to hear that. We only get them in the summer.

[Margaret Tryon]

@tabbycat He does look like robo bird. LOL
