Snow covered red berries on bare winter branches create a serene natural scene against a gray sky.

250mm, 1/640, f/5.6, ISO 100  Bohemian waxwings fly in large flocks--upwards of hundreds of birds, although this flock we estimate around 70 or so.  They are constantly in motion, usually flying down from a higher perch to grab & go their berries.  These birds were here only a moment.  

Two birds perch on snowy branches with red berries against a misty winter sky.

250mm, 1/640, f/5.6, ISO 100.  You can see how the clumps of berries under the fellow on the left have been almost completely eaten.  In the winter, Bohemian waxwing's diet will be primarily berries but during the summer they switch to eating insects.  

Snow-covered berries and branches create a serene winter landscape in nature.

85mm, 1/350, f/1.8, ISO 100.  A slightly unusual photo of a moose as usually, moose have their noses pointed down.  Here this guy is eyeing some berries as a snack.  Catchlight in his eye adds emotion to the photo.  

A small yellow meadowlark perches among bare tree branches with pink spring blossoms against a blue sky.

250mm, 1/800, f/5.6, ISO 100 Got some more direct light, and captured some catchlight.  Photography is always a dance between exposure and composition.  

A small gray and white bird perches among frosty blue spruce branches on a winter morning.

250mm, 1/320, f/5.6, ISO 100.  Our Bohemian waxwing friends surveying the landscape.  The spot on his plumage appears on other photos as well, so it's a small piece of debris or a feather imperfection.  Either way, it doesn't seem to bother him.  Males have a more defined black patch under their chin while the black patch is smaller and less defined in females.  I guess male for this proud fellow.  

A small brown bird perches on a snow-covered branch with red winter berries against a soft white background.

250mm, 1/640, f/5.6, ISO 100. A stronger telephoto lens allows closer look at our Bohemian waxwing friends.  These birds are quite skittish, bolting at the slightest noise.  Here, it looks like there is a flash under the guy taking off, and light could be reflecting off the snow, but these birds do have a natural light spot there.
