Description
After driving, parking, driving and looking for 2 hours, I had almost given up on a good photo for today. I parked next to a lake on the gravel place people park to launch fishin boats and in the tree next to me were these birds, more Waxwings.
I was in bird heaven even with difficult light, overcast, sun peeking from behind the birds unless I wanted to stand in the water. A thump, plop and my upper lip was purple..a sure sign these are really birds and eat berries! : ) Glad my mouth was not open.
Nikon d70, raw, Sigma f/4 100-300mm, shots at f/9, ISO 300.
