Sunday, January 18th, 2026 at 5:36:50 PM · 2026/Backyard Birding
A Cedar Waxwing bird is photographed perched on a thin branch among green foliage and clusters of red berries, likely from a mountain ash or similar tree. The bird displays its characteristic crested head, brownish plumage, and distinctive markings. The overcast sky creates soft, diffused lighting that flattens the contrast but provides even illumination. The scene captures a quiet moment of winter birding in what appears to be a residential backyard setting.
