A female cardinal looks up toward her partner (out of frame) as she stands on a rust-colored stone, part of a border at the edge of a garden. Her splendid feathers and crest in shades of brick red, deep gold, orange, and gray are highlighted by her neon orange beak.

A rosy brown and pale gray bird with a black mask, a yellow chest and tail feathers, and red-tipped wings (Cedar waxwing) poses in the warm sunshine as he sits on a wax-privet branch (it was January and fairly chilly). The privet has bright green leaves and empty seed hulls, which have been picked clean by the waxwing. The frame is filled more green leaves and a rusty oak leaf all backlit by the sun.

A young Cedar Waxwing perches on a clump of snow-dusted leaves and swallows a bright red berry.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #snacks. This young #CedarWaxwing and about twenty of its friends were gorging themselves on bright red berries on a ridiculously cold day.

What was your #SparkBird? When I noticed the tiny bits of color on the tips of the wings and tail of the #CedarWaxwing, I was forever hooked on #birds! I even use the waxwing as the logo of my app. 😊

The photo shows a head shot of a brown bird with a black mask. This is a Cedar Waxwing that I ran across at the John Brown Farm Historic Site near Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

For the #birdoftheday theme #headshots, I submit a #CedarWaxwing, posing for me against a background of green. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

Cedar waxwings migrate through middle TN twice a year, and they wear out the berry trees when they arrive. One of the most beautiful species, in my opinion. Difficult to get good photo exposures!

Putting on a mask hoping it won't be recognized, this serious-looking #CedarWaxwing is showing us its #SideProfile for #BirdOfTheDay.

A Cedar Waxwing perches on a twig, its beak full of dogwood fluff.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #ShoutItOut, and the alternate prompt is #NestBuilders. This #GreyCatbird has a lot to say about this #CedarWaxwing and its decision to steal aaaall the dogwood fluff.

"The cedar waxwing in your photo feels like a small, self‑contained flame of elegance against the winter sky. It perches on a bare branch as if it has chosen the simplest stage possible so its colors can do the speaking. The bird’s body is smooth and polished, almost lacquered—soft brown flowing seamlessly into a warm yellow belly. A crisp black mask sweeps across its eyes, giving it the look of a quiet sentinel. The wings fold neatly along its sides, revealing hints of muted gray and the faint promise of those signature red waxy droplets on the tips. At the tail, a clean band of bright yellow glows like a dipped brushstroke. The sky behind it is a clear, unbroken blue, and the leafless branches frame the bird without crowding it. The whole scene feels still, cold, and beautifully precise—winter holding its breath while a single waxwing surveys the world." - Microsoft Copilot

A digital drawing of a Cedar Waxwing in a cartoony style over a flat, pale pink background. The bird has its back to the viewer but is looking over its shoulder. It has a pale brown upper half, while the lower half is grey. The bit of visible belly is pale yellow. The tips of its tail feathers are bright yellow. Attached to the edge of the secondary feathers are small red little points that the Waxwing gets its name from. The bill is dark grey and the bird has a black mask going across its face. The feet are dark grey. A small "Sb" has been written underneath the bird to the right of the tail feathers. Done in Krita.

trying things out. I like the silhouette of this one more than the actual drawing lol 🪶

A cedar waxwing on a plant stem. The stem cuts across the photo diagonally at the left. More of the plant can be seen behind the bird. The waxwing is seen from behind, looking right. Its head is a light brown with a crest. The eyes and beak are black and it has a black mask. There is a small white spot just above the beak and a small white line under the eye. It appears to have part of a feather or some kind of nesting material on the beak. The wings are grey and folded over the bird's back, with a couple of vertical white stripes and some red markings at the bottom. They look soft and smooth. The fan-shaped tail can be seen below the wings. It is a light grey with a black line near the bottom, right above the yellow tip of the tail.

Two birds in tree, one above looking down, lower bird facing camera. Both waxwings, with black 'masks' across eyes outlined in white, tan head and neck, grey wings, pale yellow belly, grey tail feathers with bar of bright yellow along lower edge. Very cool looking birds.

Cedar waxwings. First sighting in years today!
They swooped in in a crowd, got the other birds all in a flutter, and took off. Hard to focus on these fast-moving birds!
I seem to have no singing birds around here so using alternate theme, bird with bowed head.
