Bohemian Waxwings
I took a little drive today, as I often do on Saturdays. I shot a couple things with the 8x10 camera, but nothing worth-while probably. I eventually made my way to Market Lake and did a little birding. Market Lake is completely frozen over, but there are always a few things around even in mid-winter. I found three species of blackbirds, including Yellow-headed, which is unusual in winter, a few Red-tailed and Rough-legged Hawks, Harriers, Great-Horned Owls, Eurasian Collared-Doves, and a big flock of Bohemian Waxwings, one of our most beautiful birds I believe.

What a great bird picture. Those are beautiful birds.
I agree!
Wow, I REALLY like that second bird picture.
How come I never see any? Are they only at Market Lake?
They nest in the far north and only come down in the winter. They rarely make it as far south as Salt Lake City, but are fairly common around here.
I showed Tom your images today. He also really enjoyed the birds in flight. He thought it was nice how all three birds in flight came together.
These are wonderful--wish I had your patience!
