Simply Cedar Waxwings

Mr. Forgetful failed to insert a compact flash card in his camera this morning before heading out to go birding and digiscoping at Pheasant Branch Conservancy.  Still, luck seemed to be on my side once I got back to my apartment. As I got out of my car, I noticed dozens of Cedar Waxwings feeding on various berry trees in the courtyard. I dashed upstairs to fetch a flash card, came down and went right to work. The best angle on the birds exposed my face to the wind, causing my eyes to water, which made it difficult to tell how good my focus was. While a few were a little blurry, I think I managed to get some pretty good shots!
