There’s a flock of Cedar Waxwings in the neighborhood. They are the cartoon bandits of the bird world, masked and outlandishly dressed, getting drunk on fermented berries and starting fights.
@cliffordbeshers Now I'm imagining them like characters in a spaghetti western.😂 (Such a great photo. Lighting, framing, leading lines, etc.)
@cliffordbeshers I love these birds. I've only ever seen them once but I keep hoping. Beautiful image!

@gregmoore Thank you. Interestingly, the light was so perfect for this shot, I did virtually no post-processing.
@cliffordbeshers So they get drunk? Well, that explains their partying. Usually see them in mobs when the berries are on. And in winter they’re only ones eating highbush cranberries, which you’d have to be drunk to eat
