However, this shot was more blind luck, than anything. There was a flock of e'm in our back yard, Mountain Ash, refueling on the berries. The bird bearing down on the suspect subject, is another waxwing, coming in for a landing. I was so intent on trying to catch one with the berry in it's mouth (they're fast!) that I didn't even see the other one coming in, though it balances the shot, very nicely. >>http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/Waxwing.htm >> >> Even more curious is the fact that although you graciously say "You certainly have a sense for these birds!"; until October, this year, I'd never seen on, in my life! Call it dumb luck... not skill. ;-) Cheers! -- David Young, Logan Lake, BC CANADA.
