Cedar Waxwing

Kensington Metro Park, Michigan

I've been trying for years to get a decent waxwing photo... this one turned out okay.
It landed very close and posed for about 30 seconds before flying away.
Taken with Sigmonster using the 1.4x teleconverter.

Beautiful capture Sayer. In the photos I've taken of the Cedar Waxwing, I never realized they had yellow on the tip of their tail feathers. ~v~
