    For the toungue's sake ...

    For the tongue's sake, I'll post one more of these. I think this was the best shot I got of that specialized tongue at work. The single point at the front is for scooping under and past a berry, tipping or flipping it towards the gullet. The double backwards-pointing points are for forking the...

    And then I got lucky - 3

    Here come three from my best Waxwing series in my life ... so far. I got lucky with the light, the setting, and a cooperative bird. I saw the bird land in a garden by the bus stop just as I was getting off the bus to start my fjordshore survey route. So I slooooowly walk along the garden fence...

    My next-best BOWA series this winter - digest

    Taking a walk down to the coffee shop I noticed this waxwing perched in some shrubs in a garden. Turned out s/he was foraging snow berries, which are definitely not the waxwings' favorite. They generally go for juicy red ones, not these mealy white ones. But with all the red berries gone...

    Does s/he think s/he's hiding?

    After seeing a Sparrowhawk crash straight into a massive dense shrub trying to tackle some wee birds I could barely see in there, it strikes me that even a thicket of twigs like this is hardly protective cover. In fact, it might even be counter-productive. I mean ... I didn't have much trouble...

    After dipping these a few times this year I finally managed to catch up with them! This one is my favourite shot - the vignette is mainly because I took it between some railings - but made it bit more obvious with post-processing!

    Another heavily cropped shot of one of the three birds here on 25 November. I'd glanced out the window, noticed what looked like a last pale leaf on top of a leafless tree, and taken half a dozen shots just in case it was a bird. Didn't know for sure what it was until zooming in on the back...

    These were a very welcome surprise yesterday, my first in 34 years (the last one was at the Golden-winged Warbler twitch of 1989). Through window glass, from 45 yards. Thank you for your comments, and good birding! John
