  1. Such a beautiful photo and bird, it’s name is in Finnish “tilhi”. I pronounced like in a word lip.

  2. Beautiful! Do you know what type of bird it is? Possibly a waxwing?

  3. Nice capture! I love cedar waxwings… their plumage is so fine, smooth and softly hued. And that mask! πŸ™‚

    1. Thank you!πŸ™‚ I love cedar waxwings too and was so excited to see the very rare visitors. Harper could not figure out why I kept running outdoors without her, but there was no way I was going to let her scare them away. I saw five together in a tree and was able to watch them enjoy the berries during two very cold days.πŸ™‚
