Cedar Waxwing couple

Great Lakes region, USA. May 2026

My new (to me) lens came in the mail today and had to take it out. What better first bird than a cedar waxwing? The first I've seen this year too. I'm loving this new lens. Much sharper, more responsive, and longer reach.

The new lens is the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS

And a gif I made of one taking a sip.
