22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Waxwing and Berries

A flock of elegant Cedar waxwings gathered in a bare-branched tree in front of me. Forever amazed by their makeup like feathers, I always love to capture their beauty. the black mask that stretches across their eyes, the crest that sweeps upward like a brushstroke. Their wingtips oh those little touches of red colour, a finest touch of an invisible painter.
