Show your Bird Portraits

Went out yesterday to just scope out a local park and wasn't expecting much. The light wasn't great but I think I was rewarded for being patient. Toward the end of my trip the sun was poking in and out of the clouds and I came across a group of Cedar Waxwings eating berries on what I believe is a Hawthorn tree. They were jumping down to a watering hole just next to it. They didn't seem startled by me so I pulled out my camera and sat down and began shooting. My first Cedar Waxwings. Such a pretty little bird.

I love Waxwings, and we rarely get them where I live.

I tempted a Robin with some birdseed, and my wife was ready with the RF 100-400 on the R6. And I also took a Robin's eye view of me as a selfie using the R5.
