Hide Takahashi Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · My First Cedar Waxwing Cedar Waxwings have been on my catch lists but I just didn't know when I'd be able to catch one untill today. I went to Covington Park right next to Big Morongo,CA,thinking that today might be the last fine day this week. Rain storms are on the way. I saw a flock of birds flying in to the thick bush trees and I thought they were just sparrows. But when one of the birds landed on a tree close to me,I noticed it's not a sparrow and to my surprise,it was a cedar waxwing. The lighting wasn't good. I got a strong side light and I couldn't move around to the other side. If I had moved,the birds would've been gone. But it is my first cedar waxwing sighting and my first cedar waxwing catch. So I'll take it. Hide Nov 24, 2008 at 09:54 PM

A & H Thank you, A&H. It may be the beginning of their migration and I'm sure we'll be seeing them more often in the months to come. Hide Raindrop_333 wrote: Congrats on your first Cedar Waxwing They are beautiful birds. Jenna Thank you, Jenna. Now that I've sen them,caught a few shots of them, I'll have to figure the right exposure for this bird. Hide Nello Milanese wrote: Sweet capture Hide beautiful bird indeed! problably the toughest bird to get detail out of those feathers! Thank you, Nello. I've seen many Cedar Waxwing photos online but only some of them captured a good feather detail. It looks like this bird has a silky smooth feather as compared to other birds,so that clould be the reason. Hide Brenton Biggs wrote: Great shots Hide! I'm surprised were not seeing more of these on the forum by other members Thank ytou, Brenton. And I feel the same way. But I guess we'll be seeing them more often in the months to come. Hide Karl Witt wrote: And now you know how tough those guys are to expose for in that masked eye area. Hide, you might be ready for a better beamer flash Now you are hooked on them I bet Best to you on your next outing! Karl I totally agree with you. I have a better beamer but I didn't think about using it. Since you mentioned it,I'll keep it on my mind for my next outing. I have a feeling that Cedar Waxwings could be as much addictive as hummingbirds. Hide tfoltz wrote: Congratulations! That is on my list too. Thanks Tim Thank you, Tim. I hope to be able to get a better shot if they show up next time.

Though I got a bad lighting today, nailing the exposure on this bird seem to be tough. I've seen many many Cedar Waxwing photos online and only some of them got the right exposure and a good feather detail. Hide Nov 25, 2008 at 01:29 AM

Yes, I've been lucky to be able to catch some of my top wish list birds lately. But I do need to get better Bluebird and Cedar Waxwing shots. And I think the Waxwings will be a challenge for me. But this bird is beautiful. Hide Nov 25, 2008 at 05:25 AM

I think I was just lucky being at the right place and at the right time because the trees didn't have any berries. So, I'll have to scout locations to find this bird. Hide Nov 25, 2008 at 06:47 PM

Ok,I set my goal. I want to get a Cedar Waxwing shot just as good as yours and I know it won't be easy but I'll try. Thanks for posting your beautiful shots. Hide Nov 25, 2008 at 08:01 PM
