Description
A Cedar Waxwing in the most flattering light of the whole year — that low, golden fall sun, with the trees turned to amber and rust around it. The waxwing is a painted bird to begin with: the silky fawn crest, the black mask, the yellow-dipped tail, those little red wax droplets on the wing. Set it against fall colors in golden hour and the whole frame glows like it was composed on purpose.
Fall is waxwing season here — the flocks sweep through Portland stripping berry trees as they go, and for a few golden weeks they’re everywhere, dressed to match the leaves.
