Party Birds

Today’s post features a few images I captured a few years ago, while exhibiting in an art show in Stillwater, Oklahoma. After a day in my booth, I returned to the hotel for the evening. To my surprise, and excitement, there was a large flock of Cedar Waxwings that had stopped to rest and forage in some trees surrounding the hotel:
