ODC2 - "narrow"
This is my new baby blue birds. I had some last year and actually got to watch them fly away. Then I had another. Now I have these. I had such a NARROW pathway to take the shot. Very difficult to get up over top of the birdhouse and manage to get a decent shot.
I have added the "newer" picture of them, taken four days after - www.flickr.com/photos/nutsaboutcanon/5689442382/
I've missed flickr! I got busy with my job and haven't been keeping up. I hope to check through everyone's streams and upload some of the gazillion photos I've taken since my last set soon.

I have been waiting all year for these birds to show up. My friend told me that they come every year in mid-April when these berries come out and stay until the berries are gone. With the harsh winter, the berries came out two months later than last year. He texted me when he saw one, and I have been hanging out with them ever since.
They have very interesting social behavior. They will sit in pairs and pass the berries back and forth to each other. Apparently, according to Cornell's All about Birds (www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Cedar_Waxwing/lifehistory), this is courtship behavior:
"During courtship, males and females hop towards each other, alternating back and forth and sometimes touching their bills together. Males often pass a small item like a fruit, insect, or flower petal, to the female. After taking the fruit, the female usually hops away and then returns giving back the item to the male. They repeat this a few times until, typically, the female eats the gift."
They also have a very interesting tongue as you can see in one of the shots in my stream. They stick their tongue out to get the barb in the middle of their tongue on the other side of the berry and then pull the berry in whole. They gorge themselves.
Someone has been following this bird. Note the band on its right leg.

An old one, from the archives (trip to New York City, 2008). New crop and new b&w conversion. See earlier in my stream for a coloured, uncropped version.
Haven't been able to go out shooting these past 10 days, so please bear with me with these archive shots. New work will follow in a few days.

Used my 1:2 macro lens attachment to see what interesting photos I could capture.
The camera's flash really brought out some neat-looking patterns in and on top of the icicle.
Except for re-sizing to 300 DPI at 16X9, this is an unedited photograph.
This photo was 218 out of 500 for the March 2, 2019, Flickr Explore page.

I was concentrating so hard on composition and lighting that I forgot that these little candles don't last. This was the last shot I took before the "cake" caught on fire...

Early morning sunrise image here. I caught the sun reflecting off the H&R Block Headquarters Building in downtown Kansas City. This location is about three stories up nestled between other buildings.

Steamship SS Dicky which was washed ashore in 1893 during a cyclone with a crew of 11 and 40 tonnes of Sand. Attempts to relaunch it proved unsuccessful so it was used for local dances until someone knocked over a kerosene lamp and it was burnt out. SS Dicky is a photographic delight! The skeleton rests on a 800m long pristine beach stretch extending from low rocks at the northern end to a bluff and rock platform at the southern end.
