This morning I am sharing three late summer Cedar Waxwing images I took in late August in a canyon high in the Wasatch Mountains.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t resist sharing this first image because the Cedar Waxwing had a crane fly in its bill while a feather was stuck to the top of its crest. Taking these images made me giggle in the field and when I viewed the photos at home on my monitor. It doesn’t take much to make me laugh.<\/p>\n

\"LateLate summer Cedar Waxwing adult \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/2000, ISO 640, -0.3 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Another nearby Cedar Waxwing looked a little more elegant perched in a serviceberry. Both of these waxwings seemed quite content to perch in the serviceberries while I photographed them.<\/p>\n

\"AdultAdult Cedar Waxwing stink eye \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/1250, ISO 400, -0.3 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This waxwing wasn’t giving me the over the shoulder stink eye but it sure looked like it was through my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

Most of the serviceberries have been picked clean of their fruits or have dropped them in the area where I photographed these waxwings. I am hoping to get back into the mountains to photograph waxwings and other birds eating hawthorn berries soon.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
