Cedar Waxwing - Coquitlam, BC

​Subtle cinnamon into lemon yellow and that black mask make this waxwing a great subject. This was a close up of one of a pair of birds that were looking for something to eat and happened to land several feet away. I didn't notice them until I heard the tell tale trill right next to me. for almost robin sized birds, they sure do blend in well. It was a beautifully sunny day and the blue background is a welcome change around these parts. Almost everyone is 3 weeks late in getting here and starting up a family, but the weather is in full force now.
