You're right, Cedar Waxwings. Very pretty. My book says that in recent years, they have been spotting more and more of them mutating to have an orange stripe on their tail because of some new berry's that they have been eating, which are different than the wild berry's they traditionally eat. In urban areas they are eating hybridized versions of the wild berries on trees in peoples landscaping. The pigments in the berries are affecting the tail color! I thought that was very interesting. I'm also a bird watcher, it is one of the little things that makes me happy and at peace. We have to look up once in a while and appreciate the nature around us. Your blog is cool! Keep writing it, it's good for those of us who don't get to travel much. Love you!
