Bohemian Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus)

Another shot from my couple days in Concord, NH shooting the Waxwings. These birds were a lifer for me. I didn't realize they were quite a bit larger than the Cedars and in fact the size difference is what first alerted me it was a different bird in the flock. There were only four or five Bohemians in the flock of 78 Cedars so I didn't get as many decent pics. Most of them the bird was behind a stem or obscured in some way.

Fine details, great setting in your closeup.
They look a bit "chunkier" than the Cedar Waxwing.
Well done!:t:
