Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum)

I took this photo while walking on the Fore River Trail in Portland, Maine. I think this trail is one of Portlands best birding spots, which is not known to many and used by very few. I go there on a daily basis. There were a dozen or so Waxwings moving through the tree tops eating berries and I managed to grab a few shots. This was around sunset so this was the best shot as far as lighting goes.

Yeah, that would have been quite a job with the 85mm.(I originally listed the 17-85mm) It was actually at the 300mm end with the 70-300mm lens I've been using. I updated the lens in the equipment. I realized I listed the wrong lens when I read your reply. I love Cedar Waxwings as well. I was so excited to finally get a shot of one. There is just so much to like about them.
