Eliza Waters 
So subtle with a splash of red. With “A Bird and the Dragon” as part of the title of my first book, I’m drawn to the birds.
Thank you! The world would be a much poorer place without birds.
I love these masked invaders!
Their plumage is exceptional, isn’t it? Such a lovely bird.
Just Beautiful Eliza
Thank you kindly, Karen!
❤️ I wish I had the perfect words to describe how beautiful this photo is….’Winterberry’ is so vibrant and such a pretty word…. ‘Cedar Waxwings’ have been a favorite bird of mine since I was a child….now you have a photo of both…amazing! ❤️
Thank you very much, Alice! x
This is a captivating picture, Eliza!
Thank you, Isha!
Gorgeous Eliza!
Thank you, Noortje!
Well done
Thank you, Derrick.
My Wednesday here is covered by snow at -10 degrees Celsius. Love your photo and reminds me the Autumn.
Sounds cold! Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Valeria!
Stunner!
Thank you very much, Allison!
PURE MAGIC ELIZA, CHINA

Thank you, China!
Reblogged this on LIVING THE DREAM.
Thank you for reblogging!
Stunning!
Thank you, Karina!
I love the way that you captured the colorful environment as well as the Cedar Waxwing. He seems pensive as he tries to decide which berry to consume next–it is nice to have choices.
Thank you, Mike. The flock wasted no time wolfing these winterberries!
Beautiful capture! Did the Cedar Waxwing eat any of the red berries?
Thank you, Hien. Yes, the flock ate a ton, plus knocked a lot down for the mice to eat. 🙂
Wow! Beautifully captured. ❤️
Thanks so much, Irene!
Gorgeous, Eliza!
Thank you!
Beautiful shot….very Christmas card!
Thank you! The berries make it feel quite festive. 🙂
The color and power!!
Thanks, Kim. 🙂
Such a striking shot!
Thank you very much, Laurie!
Very Nice Eliza! Plus it looks very holidayish for this time of year!
Thank you, Reed. Winterberry speaks ‘Christmas’ to me. 🙂
This is gorgeous, Eliza .
Thank you, Luda!
Beautiful shot!! ❤️
Many thanks, Patty Anne!
This is gorgeous!
Thank you, Maysa!
Lovely photo and subjects, and how nice to see such a festively edible Christmas tree bringing the birds such good cheer.
Thank you, Carol. Yes, the late fall ripening of winterberry naturally decorates our yard for Christmas and the birds are perfect ornaments.
“Hey you winter-grey birds,
You want seasonal cheer?
I”m selling got lots of it here.
Costs just a few kind words.”
Sorry, not “got lots,” just “lots.” Great shot!
🙂 Thank you, Albert!
A perfect profile. 😀
Thank you!
Lovely photo!
Thank you, Belinda!
Fabulous photo and I love Cedar Waxwings.🙂
Thank you, they are one of my favorite birds, too.
Once in awhile, a photo goes straight to my heart before my eyes fully comprehend it all. This is one of those photographs. Wow!
I’m honored, thank you, Gary!
Oh my gosh, this is such a beautiful image Eliza! Well done!!
Thank you very much, Sylvia!
What a magnificent sight Eliza and, of course, you captured it perfectly!
Thank you very much, Kathy!
Gorgeous…my absolute favorite bird…I must plant some winterberry this year!!!!
Thank you, Jen. The birds will like that. You’ll need 3-5 females per one male for pollination.
Thanks for that tip!!
stunning with the red ❤ Happy holidays Eliza ❤
Thank you, Kim. Same to you! x
What a fabulous photo, it would make a great Christmas card.
Thank you, Chloris! Happy Christmas to you and yours.
I was going to say it looks like a Christmas card but Chloris beat me to it! 🙂 Beautiful! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Thank you, Joanna. Merry Christmas to you as well!
A gorgeous picture of one of my favorite birds!
Thank you, Peter. They are sharp-looking, aren’t they? 🙂
Great photo of this bird (?) always good to see birds in their habitat
Thank you, Diana.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Nice shot !
Thank you!
Beautiful shot, Eliza – this would make a wonderful notecard or Christmas card image.
Thank you, Lynn. Winterberry is so striking this time of year. I need to plant more!
That is a stunning photo! Waxwings are only unpredictable visitors to my country but always entertain people when they do show up.
Have a lovely Christmas, by the way!
Thank you very much, Adele!
Oh I LOVE this image!!! Merry Christmas Eliza 🎁🎄 !!!
Thank you very much!
Stunning capture, Eliza, I love Cedar Waxwings! ❤️
Thank you, Donna! Same here. 🙂
Almost all the comments focused on the cedar waxwing. It was the winterberry that grabbed my glance. The similar possumhaw grows in central Texas.
Thank you, Steve. That winterberry puts on quite the show every fall. Most of the berries are gone by new year, as the birds relish them.
That happens to some of our possumhaws, while others, probably the majority, last until the trees green out again in February.
Those color contrasts are so beautiful! Very Christmassy too 🙂
Thank you, Maria. ❤
Thank you! Have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones ❤
❤
Another beautiful bird. How nice to see the winterberries too! What a nice mix!
Muchas gracias, Maria!
Just like a postcard!
Thank you!
BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR ELIZA, FROM CHINA
Thank you, China, same to you.
Breath-taking Eliza, thank you so much for sharing this lovely bird.
My pleasure, Agnes!
Gorgeous image Eliza! Great surrounding berries and background branches.
Thank you kindly, Denise!
Beauty…only Red berries are also really beautiful and bird is like a feather on the cap… could not resist myself to comment…liked it very much
Thank you very much!
