Description
Cedar Waxwings barely look real. The plumage is so smooth it reads as airbrushed — a silky fawn crest, a black bandit’s mask, a tail dipped in yellow paint, and those little red waxy droplets on the wing feathers that give the bird its name. Then one opens its wings, and the whole painted surface comes alive.
This is that moment — a Cedar Waxwing caught in the instant of taking flight, every feather doing its work. These are the split seconds a photographer waits whole mornings for.
