Bohemian beauties

[squirl033]

Went out to a wetland area a bit north of here today and finally got some shots of the Bohemian waxwings everyone's been seeing up there. The forecast said mostly sunny for the first half of the day, but the sun never showed up. Light was lousy, very dull and flat, so these were pushed about 2 stops over to bring out detail... would sure love to have gotten these with good light! But given that I'd never gotten shots of Bohemians before, I'll settle for these - until I get some better ones!

Wow, this is a very striking bird species! I've never seen it before, and I can totally understand your enthusiasm for getting this one captured.

Very nice shots. The last one is my favourite.

Thanks, everyone! Now if I can just get one in some nice, soft winter sunlight!
