Cedar Waxwing

I spent a couple of hours in my blind yesterday afternoon since we had overcast skies and had quite an assortment of visitors at the little pond I installed a month or so ago.  This was probably my favorite because it's hard to find them down around eye level unless you can stake out a good berry bush that they've found.  It also popped up and perched to give me a few nice BOAS poses before it left that have smoother backgrounds, but I liked the drinking pose here.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 361 mm, tripod with ball head and Wimberley Sidekick, f/8, 1/400, iso 1250, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped to 10 MP before resizing, mostly to eliminate some really ugly oof foreground.  I also had to remove some bright dead grass stems from the bg and green ones from the foreground in processing.  I need to go out and remove them physically!   Image taken at 3:30 pm yesterday under overcast skies.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,
