It was such a pleasant surprise when I discovered that Cedar Waxwings liked to hang out at the creek that runs alongside my street. I've been dying to see these beautiful birds up close and in-person. I may have run out of time for it this year, but I am very determined to get a shot that really captures the beauty of these birds.

I chose this photo over some of the sharper ones because I prefer the composition and pose.

Great Shot! Wow these are some beautiful birds. I have yet to see one. I know they are in my area right now due to the winter migration. Must keep eyes pealed.
