While shooting Cedar Waxwings a couple of weeks ago, I noticed Barn Swallows active over the estuary,and after awhile it dawned on me that some of them were coming frequently to the bank under the Serviceberry bushes and I could hear fledgling begging from that direction. After searching for awhile I found one place where I had an unobstructed view of the branch this fledgling was perched on. After awhile a sibling came out to join it as well.
7Dii, 500mm f4 ISL, Jobu Gimbal on RRS legs, f/10, 1/1250, iso 1250, aprture priority, pattern metering with -1/3 stop compensation. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 15.9 MP. Taken at 6:50 am on July 2nd.
I appreciate all your comments on the Waxwing and look forward to you input on this image.
Thanks,

Dennis, no nits. The fledgelings are cuter than a bug's ear!
