Cedar waxwing

dangles

Went out to Will Rogers Park in OKC and found a flock of waxwings. These guys were not shy but very difficult to photograph because they were always deep in the trees. I got several good images and this is one of them. I know some of you would clone out the leaves behind the head but I happen to like the way it looks.

A fine shot Duane. I think the leaves in this shot add to it.
