Cedar Waxwing

Was returning from taking bird photos in a neighbor's yard, I thought I saw a female cardinal at the top of a 12 foot tall birch tree at the corner of my house. When I got closer it was clear this was not a cardinal, it was a Cedar Waxwing.

We've never seen a waxwing in our yard, and have rarely see them at all anywhere.  Blip has definitely added to observation skills and collection of birds identified.
