Curious Cedar Waxwing (2 images)

Cental Iowa Countryside

CEDAR WAXWINGS SEEM TO BE VERY SOCIABLE WITH
EACH OTHER... AND RELATIVELY UNAFRAID OF PEOPLE.
THEIR DIET IS TYPICALLY 80% BERRIES... AND THE
GROUP THAT I WITNESSED INCLUDED 18 BIRDS THAT
ATE MOST OF THE BERRIES ON A MEDIUM SIZED TREE IN
LESS THAN AN HOUR.. THEY ARE VERY BUSY FLITING HERE
AND THERE; OCASSIONALLY DROPPING BERRIES IN THEIR
FEEDING FRENZY.. THEY ARE VERY PHOTOGENIC...

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S VR
1/350s f/6.7 at 650.0mm iso560 (1.7TC) full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
