Ironic, I just took this picture yesterday morning not knowing about the contest title. I love Cedar Waxwings, and I shot this image right after a snowstorm. Waxwings, Robins, Juncos, Starlings, White-throated Sparrows and Fox Sparrows were all feeding on berries after being hunkered down during the blizzard. Just look at the snow and frost on the berry and on the beak of the bird. A real time Tis the Season image.
