Here's another I dug out. I like that you can see the impression of where the bill pierced the hawthorn berry. The shot was from January 2013 and there is definitely, in my opinion, something very uplifting about seeing waxwings in the winter. Just the perfect splash of colour.

Good head-on birding,

And I'll raise you a Redstart. Hereabouts this bird really likes dark areas.

Jeremy I have to agree there is something truly uplifting about seeing Cedar and Bohemians in winter!

Some head-ons from this October: western meadowlark from Brunswick Point, a Gray Jay from Cypress, and a Western Grebe from White Rock. To me these birds all seem ticked off - mostly at me and my camera.

Isn't it great when a bird poses so nicely? Or are they thinking "what is that with the giant eye pointed right at me?". Oh well, here's a few from my collection.

At Point Roberts

Just down the street from me.

At Reifel

At Blackie Spit

On my neighbour's garage roof during the irruption of 2011. When I saw it, I almost fell over myself running back in the house to get my camera!
Thanks for looking.
