Jaseur d'Amérique / Cedar Waxwing / Bombycilla cedrorum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) is a member of the family Bombycillidae or waxwing family of passerine birds. It breeds in open wooded areas in North America, principally southern Canada and the northern United States.

It is 16.5 cm in length and weighs 32 g. It is smaller and browner than its close relative, the Bohemian Waxwing, which breeds further north and west. The tail is tipped with yellow or orange depending on diet. Birds that have fed on berries of introduced Eurasian honeysuckles while growing tail feathers will have darker orange-tipped tail-feathers. Adults have a pale yellow belly. Immature birds are streaked on the throat and flanks, and often do not have the black mask of the adults.
The flight of waxwings is strong and direct, and the movement of the flock in flight resembles that of a flock of small pale European Starlings.

Hi Daniel,
Its amazing the sharpness of the picture, but so smooth at the same time !
I like very much the generous size and format of the image, so we can enjoy at its best all the great details got on the bird's plumage.
It's so good all the leaves acting like frame for the bird.
Well done and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Daniel.
Wonderful image. Great pose with wonderful exposure, detail and colour. He sure stands out against the green leaves.

WOW! La couleur et la texture de l'oiseau sont superbe. Excellent travail!
Au plaisir,

Bravo Daniel pour cette excellente capture de cet oiseau que j'adore. J'ai souvent essayé d'obtenir de belles photos d'eux mais ils sont toujours trop loin pour obtenir un résultat comme celui là! Les détails, l'exposition, la prise de vue, tout est magnifique ici. Félicitations! Ça me donne le goût d'aller tenter ma chance à Boucherville :) À la prochaine,
Claudine
