Bombycilla cedrorum
Cedar Waxwings are pale brown on the head and chest fading to soft gray on the wings. The belly is pale yellow, and the tail is gray with a bright yellow tip. The face has a narrow black mask neatly outlined in white. The red waxy tips to the wing feathers are not always easy to see.

I have never heard them sing though. But they are beautiful I have never seen the red wax droplets on their wings either. When they all fly together the yellow edged tails look beautiful!
mine too...they came to visit my neighborhood and I just love to take lots of shots!

Nice pic - my favorite songbird :)
emma...that is nice to know that this bird knows how to share.
"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"
