Color and Intricacy of a Bohemian Waxwing 3308

Eastern Washington

Trying to photograph a hundred or more birds all in a space of about 20’x20’ was mind and eyeball blurring.
Wings were flapping, snow was flying, berries were being gobbled up or falling off branches, and branches
were swinging all over the place as the birds were vying for position to get at the berries.
The images I captured manage to “freeze frame” all the chaos.

I had a blast!!!
