One of my favorite birds. They come here in late February just when spring is around the corner and stay just long enough to strip our huge photinia bush of a million berries and then off they go again. That dab of yellow on their tail almost looks like they rested on the side of a paint can for a few seconds.
...I love the angle in the first shot. It emphasizes the gorgeous feathers and waxy tips--very cool. (Our mulberry trees are always alive with them in June--love listening to their song when they fly in!)
they really are gorgeous birds...and their feathers are amazing! i have never even seen a waxwing in my yard...but i DID find a few feathers one day!! FEATHERS!! a sign from the spirits!!
Love the waxwings, they are gorgoeus birds. Great shots, Kerri!
