Finally, this is the best sight I had of the Waxwing for three years. I just love this bird. I was on my way home when I heard the sound. Then I had to look for them, it was not hard to find them.

Nowadays my world is just grey, grey and more grey. And lots of snow has fallen. Walking in teh middle of the day and the wold is slightly blue and black. Today I finally heard the waxwings. Looking around I found then in the top of a birch. I manage to snap an image with the little camera I have before they took off. They landed in another treetop 200m away. And stayed put for a while so I got a shot in that tree as well. But in this weather I can´t see any colors so I posted an image from three years ago too. The last time I saw them up close.

BirdArt meme? A question!
Now, I have been thinking of opening a meme for Bird Art so I took the images from today and played around a little. The first one is filter Conté Crayon with canvas texture in PS CS5 and the second one is black and white abstract.
If any of you are interested in a BirdArt meme please tell me. I need at least 10 people to get started.

Hey guys, come down, please! They didn´t. :(
I finally spotted a small group of Bohemian waxwings high up in a treetop. They all sat in the still sunny parts of the tree. In a way I was happy because last year I never saw them in sunshine. Only got grey birds on a rainy day. Not fun as this bird needs sunshine to shine. :)

Not often you see those guys on the ground. But they had fun in a small water puddle. This year we have a lot of them in my area. :)

The Goldfinch is a bird I rarely see so I was happy when I suddenly spotted two of them. I am not sure if it is a pair but one of them seemed a little duller in it´s color.
