They're back! A few hundred Cedar Waxwings were feeding on berry trees across the street from my apartment this afternoon. The sun was obscured by clouds, but I thought I would use the building behind the tree to work with different colors. By adjusting my position, I could have a white, tan, blue, or orange background. Each color rendered a slightly unique feel and temperature. While I was digiscoping the waxwings, around a dozen Common Redpolls flew in, perched, but quickly departed before I could get a photograph of one.
