Cedar Waxwing

I can't tell you how long I've been after this bird, but it's probably been over 2 years.

I have pursued it like Elmer Fudd after Bugs Bunny. Like Wily Coyote after the Road Runner. Like Sylvester after Tweety bird. Like Tom after Jerry. OK....THAT'S ENOUGH!!! You get the picture. I've been after it.

I've only seen 2 others before this one...resulting in 2 crummy pictures.

This guy posed and posed. 75-80 shots. He was tucked in behind the branches...but...like my wife says..."I was really tickled to see it."

A handful of shots are on my Flickr Page. The same cranes from yesterday, some geese, a tree reflection, and a car license that Grandpas will appreciate.

A little fling with the Waxwing.
Made me feel like a King...to shoot that thing.
Almost...almost...did a handspring...
but was worried about pulling my hamstring.

Where's my bird book? Cedar Waxwing...check it off. WHOO-HOO!
