Cedar Waxwings Habitat
Preferred habitat consists of trees at the edge of wooded areas, or "open" forests, especially those that provide access to berry sources as well as water. Waxwings are attracted to the sound of running water, and love to bathe and drink from shallow creeks. In urban or suburban environments, waxwings often favor parkland with well-spaced trees, golf courses, cemeteries, or other landscaping with well-spaced trees, bushes that provide berries, and a water source, including fountains or birdbaths, is always a big plus.

Hello Doug,
I selected only the bird using Quick selection and adjusted Shadow/ highlight to bring out the details on the bird.
I used Neat image to remove the noise and sharpen the image.
Finally gave it a crop and a frame.
I used Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Hope you don't mind.
Regards,
Smitha.
