With the cold weather and snow which hit Quebec recently, Bohemian Waxwings invaded a local municipal arboritum where fruit-bearing trees grow. The birds made short work of the fruit, but provided a great spectacle for bird photographers.

Canon 7D with 500L f4 lens handheld @ 1/1000, f5.6, +2/3 exposure compensation, ISO 400.

Cropped to straighten horizon, a bit of sky filled in where canvas was skewed due to my horizon straightening, same with a small portion of snow on bottom left of image. Background despeckled to reduce noise - a form of selective sharpening.

Cheers,

Mike
