Cedar Waxwing
Would have been much better if the branches weren't in the way, but what can you do but catch the fleeting moment. I've never photographed one of these before, so I was happy to get what I could. Wasn't expecting it to alight in the tree in front of me.
It's really the brand new green leaves on the trees in the background that saved the shot from being dumped in the trash basket. I think the fluorescent greens of spring rival anything autumn has to offer ... and they are such a pleasure to see after a long winter.
