...dozens of waxwings feeding today; tree in front yard.

Here's one (5DMk3 and 100-400II; max zoom):

They visited me today - enjoyed the holly berries (but I didn't spot the barbed tongue).

Tongue clearly visible in that shot.

Thanks josephandrews222 and click. When these guys are around such as we're dealing with here there sure are lots of great photographic opportunities. This year my tree had maybe 10 berries!

Jack, that tongue looks like something out of a horror movie. Great capture.

Jack, that tongue looks like something out of a horror movie. Great capture.

I never knew until I got a photo of it and I was in shock. It works amazingly well when you see it in action. Now if it were sharp and hard like the Pileated, that would be pure horror!

This is one aspect of photography that I love - learning about our amazing natural world via the amazing tools that we have.

I concur. For example: while the solid red color 'worn' by male cardinals is eye-catching, a detailed well-lit photo of female cardinals reveals a wonderful mix of colors that I never knew was there...
