I was hoping you'd pop in with some bird info. :) I did a web search on the two waxwings you mentioned. They're lovely, but not what we're seeing here. The one I'm thinking is a female cardinal likes just like a cardinal except it's brown with light red wings and tail. The ones I'm thinking are fledglings are mostly bright red except for rough-looking patches of brown all over. If you scroll through the pics on the Cornell site (the cardinal link above), pic #8 is what we're seeing. And they actually have a lot more red on them now than they did when they first showed up. A new bird showed up today. Sort of small to medium size, light brown, long tapered body, and a long, delicate, curved neck. Very pretty. If it comes back, I'll have to take some pics to post here so you can let me know what it is! Hey, Leilani! I was hoping you’d pop in with some bird info. :)

I love those birds! Well, heck, I love most birds, but waxwings are special to me since they're not very common in these here parts. Let me know if I'm right!
