Description

I took this photo at an apple orchard in Orrtanna, Pennsylvania. It was the first week of Spring, and a friend had told me there were lots of Waxwings feeding on the Crabapple trees there. I couldn’t resist going to take some photos of them as they are such beautiful birds that I don’t get to see very often. The Waxwings were so busy feeding that they didn’t even notice me there, so I was able to take lots of photos. This photo is my favorite from that day. I like the bird’s pose as it stretches to reach a crabapple above its head even though there are some right at its feet.

Just a spectacular shot. The composition was perfect and those colors! This beauty won my vote for the Grand Prize.

Donna Graham says:

The Waxwing knew of your love and posed for you. They, for me, have always been one of the more “knowing” birds, and have shown up for me when I most needed guidance and re-affirmation. What a blessing for you both.
