Waxwings & Swans

Sunday after the Rexburg Temple dedication, Jon and I took a drive up to the Chester area to check out the snow and see if we could find any nice landscapes to photograph. We ran into a big flock of Bohemian Waxwings along the Henry's Fork near Fun Farm and were content to try to photograph them. I really need a nicer long lens, but it was still fun. It was great watching the waxwings feed on recently emerged midges. There were also several dozen Trumpeter Swans in the area and I managed to snap a quick picture as a pair flew by. We didn't take any landscapes, but it was great to be out in the warm weather (I think it reached freezing for the first time in weeks).
