Cedar waxwings arrive in mid summer in my area. They usually stay until the Mountain Ash berries are ripe.

Pictures of these birds always looks so smooth, like they don't have individual feathers. Are their feathers really tiny? Nice image, BTW.

Thanks, Kathy. If you open the download and enlarge it you can easily see their outer layer of feathers which seem to criss-cross over their neck and back and contribute to the smooth appearance.

Nice shot! I’d like a bit more open space to the right of the bird where it is looking so the head is no farther to the right than the center of the photo. It seems like the bird needs more space to be looking into.
