I thank all of you for the nice compliments.  There have been several hundred Bohemian Waxwings in the mid-town business district a few blocks south of my house, for several weeks. The grounds and parking lots of several large office towers are landscaped with a variety of fruit bearing trees and shrubs, which the waxwings have been feeding on. This is a high volume traffic area, both vehicle and pedestrian. I was surprised today, how accustomed they had become to the constant commotion. Some of the best shots today where taken only 6 to 10 feet from the birds. However, the Waxwings are in a state of almost constant motion. Moving ever minute of two. Numerous times birds flew past with in inches of my head. I took so many good pictures, it's hard to decide witch ones to post.
