"Cedar Waxwings" oil 9"x12" $380

This January, I was x-country skiing in Hayden, Colorado and a huge flock of birds soared overhead. They all came to rest in the leafless cottonwood in front of me. These cedar chested birds puffed their bodies to insulate the zero degree temperature while they rested.
What a surprise to see so many birds on a crisp, clear, mid-winter day.
