Bombycilla cedrorum
I divided them into sets, These were perching in our Oak tree, the others in the Holly. They would whirl up in a cloud and circle and come down again clinging to the edges of the tree.
Rather nomadic except for when they are nesting.

Awesome fact Leuba. You made me like these birds more than I already do!
Just saw them in western nc mtns last week way early! But always a thrill great pics!
What lovely birds ! - I just read this about them on Wikipedia
"When the end of a twig holds a supply of berries that only one bird at a time can reach, members of a flock may line up along the twig and pass berries beak to beak down the line so that each bird gets a chance to eat"
Wow! Alice..send them over to my house...that must have been great to see.
