Feeding up for the winter ?

Nice shot and certainly one plump bird!

What a pudge :lol: can he fly or is that why he looks so mad. Great shot!

I think the term is "grousing" - just before they shake or preen.

Funny looking when captured.

This one should "showcase" its belly better:

Could use a haircut, too.

Sorry about the oof grass in the foreground.

Man, I wish I could get close enough for a shot like the first one.

Or you can crop after the fact, like I did

But I was once only about 10 ft or so away from two cedar waxwings. Not in an open field though. Probably they forgot to look before they landed.

That last shot looks like an avian Don King.....
