Cedar Waxwings

Cedar waxwings are small birds that live along woodland edges and near gardens. They have a high, thin call that sounds like zeee.

They are the bird with the yellow on them in these photos. The birds with orange tummies are robins; the black bird in the third photo is a starling.

    I have never seen that bird before. Looks like he's wearing a mask...so cute. Great shots too!

    Don't think I have ever seen one in our yard. Lots of chickadees, cardinals and bluebirds around our feeder this winter.

    Those Cedar Waxwings are unusual looking and quite beautiful! I've never seen one before. I have seen the Robins lately. In NY, we would never see a Robin before March. They are the bird that would herald in spring. So I think it's really cool to see them in the winter here.

    I love the red on the end of their wings. I've never seen one of these before.
