Upon my return home, I backed into my driveway, grabbed the camera, and opened the car door. Before shutting it, I spotted a cedar wax wing on a bare branch near our serviceberry tree. Without shutting the door and with camera in hand, I slowly began taking pictures. I rarely have a chance to be that close (this is likely the closest I've ever been).
At first, I did not realize this was a juvenile bird; it was not until its mother (or father?) brought it a berry for it to occur to me.
Despite the blue heron, this moment and these shots were the highlight of my day. My goal to create habitat for native plants and the wildlife they support seems much closer to becoming a reality. :)
