Cedar Waxwing: Kennebunk Plains Nature Conservancy, West Kennebunk, Maine, USA, August 2026 — Again one of my favorite birds, this time perched—I will not say sedately since he or she is obviously very intent on the bug action over the pond—but at least still for a moment. Too far away still, to show maximum feather detail—especially with feathers as fine as a waxwing’s—but we do what we can. Sony RX10 V at 600mm equivalent, cropped to about 1200mm effective field of view. My Birds and Wildlife shooting mode. Processed and upscaled in Photomator.
