Poor shooting conditions, I had to open up 2 stops to get anything besides silhouettes. They sure are pretty birds.

They really are beautiful. It's like they're wearing a silk suit.

Nice ones, Terry.
What am I looking at in the second shot, in the lower left corner? I thought it was another Waxwing but it has a white throat and yellow bill.

That’s a Waxwing’s butt, and the yellow is the tip of its tail feathers.

Hahaha, really? When I saw it I thought it had a swallow like head and bill!
