I, myself, have hundreds (well dozens) of different Waxwing poses from my two encounters on Friday. I like this one because the bird is making itself fat. Seconds later it stretched to its full length and reassumed its elegant posture. It is also one of the few shots I got where the wax on the wing is showing\u2026if only just.
