Waxwing with a twist

When you are hungry, you will almost do anything to get a berry to eat. I never seen these birds do this before.

Wow, that Waxwing is quite the acrobat!
Excellent catch!

Must be nice to be able to twist your neck around like that!

Excellent capture, Dennis!

Nice shot, Dennis. That looks like a serviceberry. I was trying to get some pictures of the chickadees going after them in my backyard this morning.

Thanks Craig, is that what they call those berry trees. Lots of birds there just loved them, the Blue Jays showed up but they did not stay around with me there.
