Great job!!

Thanks CarlTN. Your photos and the previous bird swallowing the berry have prompted me to post these waxwing shots. I got so many, I'm not sure if I posted this on the bird thread also. The birds literally fought over the best pools of water.

Early December and still lots of mountain ash berries on my tries for the waxwings to gorge on and that's what they were doing. Meanwhile I was out watering my little creek pond about 200' from my house, that I skate on. The waxwings will swallow up to a dozen berries at a time and then they later regurgitate the skins - on my rink - not good for skating! Anyway, it was fairly mild and the water was puddling and these guys flew down in numbers, major numbers, so I ran to the house and got the camera. Unfortunately the lighting was minimal and I had to shoot at higher ISOs plus I needed 300 X2. Still I was thrilled with the experience sitting in the snow bank. :)

No problem, Jack! And thank you, however I can't take credit for the waxwing photo, that was someone else. I've not seen it, but I have seen shots of waxwings eating berries. Btw I like these of yours too, great job!

70-300L, 6D, hand held 1/20, ISO 100, f/16. Not much color in this, even after some LR adjustment. I still didn't want to go B&W though. This my favorite old oak tree in my yard. I think I've taken about 3000 images of it over the past few years!
