It is so hard to get a great shot of a bird with its dark eye masked in black but your last photo of the Cedar Waxwing has got to be one of the best I've seen. The group shot of the Bohemians in the tree with the one flying ion from the right is very cool too!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364686787961129602.post-56577954749798761592011-02-17T00:30:37.509-05:002011-02-17T00:30:37.509-05:00love that last waxwing photo and the ones with all...love that last waxwing photo and the ones with all of them in it, cute!
