Cedar Waxwing in Caragana Blossoms

Looking through my photos from the summer, I found this shot of a Cedar Waxwing. What a perfect match between the yellow tips of its tail and the yellow Caragana flowers of its perch. There was a small flock of about five birds at the Condie Nature Refuge that day; some hid, some — like these two — posed.
