Bombycilla cedrorum
Sorry to keep bombarding you with Cedar Waxwings, I simply have never seen them stay around so long at a time. 6-8 weeks. golden chests, peaked top, black through the eyes and a ruffled pale tail. Travel in flocks and eat a lot of berries.
They prefer large trees so they can all land together. I assume they split up when nesting begins.

Wow! Great capture!
We don't see these any more.
They are still prevalent over here on the east coast as well. Wonder what's up.
Nice shots Alice!
Its visual treat to see the pretty flocks again and again
