The Cedar Waxwing

Not a great shot but it was really gloomy and he was far in the sticks. Just love these guys. Bird version of Zorro!

What a lovely bird!
We have them here, although I have never seen one. Envious of your pic!

Very nice shot.

They are indeed a beautiful bird. Good capture.

Zorro indeed. Nice one.

Because of seeing this shot (thanks so much) I've googled and found they are in my area...though I've never seen one, but on my upcoming off week I'm going shopping for bushes to add to the studio that will put out berries these birds eat, so maybe I can bring them to me.

Great capture.

I have a mountain ash tree & it's always fun watching them come every January/February & picking off the berries.

Less fun: Washing the cars the next day due to the large amount of Cedar Waxwing berry poop.

Thanks all. While not a great shot it illustrates what a handsome bird this is. We have them year round but are somewhat secretive although once in awhile I see great flocks of them but they look just like any other flock from a distance. Occasionally in the summertime they will feed on insects down by our river. This one was quite a ways back in the sticks and was difficult to get a half way clear view. Darn sticks anyway

Here are a couple more taken this past summer
