It's one, but could be two. The 2nd pic, with whitish tummy, could be a bohemian, but maybe just a juvie cedar also. Rats, I say 2 beautiful photos of waxwings :)


... does it really matter?i see with my eyes, i shoot with my fingers.

Very nice images.

I think the second bird is a Cedar with a lighter than average belly. A Bohemian would be reddish colored under the tail.

Both are Cedar Waxwings. Bohemian have rufous undertail coverts like said above, as well as a yellow "stripe" (really their wingtips lined up). They also have a white tips to their wings above the red in the photo above.

Can't answer your question, Tom. All I know is I see two beautiful birds and great shots of it. I like the last especially. Good work.
