Cedar Waxwing today @ LLELA - 01-14-2012, 10:21 PM

Critique: CC:

Went out to LLELA today and while it was pretty dead, I did come away with this shot of a cedar waxwing. Beautiful birds and there was a whole flock of them. They don't say still for long though.

Good shot showing the colors and details, and you got the light kissing the eye. The berries are a nice touch.

All of them kept perching with their butts to me. At least this one turned around and acknowledged me. :)

Thanks for the comments!

Thanks all. LLELA continues to surprise me. Everytime I go out there I find something new. I saw some sort of woodpecker out there but couldn't get a clear shot of it. Hopefully next trip I'll catch it. It was vey pretty as well with a spotted belly.
