Happy Feathery Friday All!

The other day I got lucky and was able to catch this Cedar Waxwing ( http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Cedar_Waxwing.html ) and the waxwing in the bokeh behind it exchange tail feather displays. I imagined they got drunk on the fermented Mountain Ash berries and are now acting like a couple of drunkards trying to show off for the ladies. ;-)))

I could watch these fermented fruit-crazed cuties all day! And oh yeah, I know I keep mentioning it but.... dang this is 1000 flippin' ISO!
