Cedar Waxwing - In Flight

Cedar Waxwing taking off from a nearby berry bush, Shoreline Lake, California. Cedar Waxwing's are extremely fast in flight, however are often found in flocks of hundreds giving one multiple opportunities. This Waxwing just launched itself off a nearby berry bush it and its fellow birds were devouring, affording me less than a second to focus and photograph before it was out of sight.
