Cedar waxwing taken against background of forested mountain slope and cloud. Cedar waxwings usually have red spots on their secondary feathers but not invariably as this one does not.

Wow, gorgeous photo of that waxwing. Very different.

The Saguaro fruits are ripening in southern Arizona and the Gila Woodpeckers are having a feast. Here's a male Gila. Photo taken with 5Diii, 400 DO, ISO 320, aperture preferred, f7.1 @ 1/1000.

Love all the recent shots. I'm so loaded down with unfinished projects that my shooting consists of the occasional scurry to the deck as per these three. 6D 300 1250th ISO 1250 Rainy day!

Very nice series Jack.

Thanks Click. Really wish I was out in the bush but can't complain if these guys want to visit me.
I'm really enjoying the detail that I would usually miss and I'm learning more of their behaviour and sounds.

Not a prize composition, I know, with the feathers covering the eyes. I like it, nonetheless.
