    I changed my mind again. It's the Bohemian Waxwing, They have the yellow tips as well, and they have white wing stripe.

    Bohemian Waxwing, final answer.


    Frogbert, both the Cedar and the Bohemian have the yellow tips on the tail feathers. As I said before the diffence is the chestnut patch at the area between the chest and tail. The Bohemians have it, the Cedars don't.

    Come on folks, this is the Gunbroker, not the Birdwatcher's forum. Put down the binoculars, take out the BB gun and plink one. Take high resolutions pictures of various parts of the bird and post them here for review and bird identification. When a positive ID is made, post it here and follow HobbyGuy's suggestion and serve the now ID'ed bird with some wild rice, steamed carrots and a good bottle of wine.[:D]

    Lacks cinnamon undertail coverts. Cedar Waxwing.

    Besides, if it were not Warpig surely would have reported hearing its song: The Bohemian rapsody.[:p]

    Is this the real life?
    Is this just fantasy?
    Caught in a landslide,
    No escape from reality.
    Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
    I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
    Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
    Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

    Mama just killed a man,
    Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
    Mama, life had just begun,
    But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
    Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
    If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
    Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

    Too late, my time has come,
    Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time.
    Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
    Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
    Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
    I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

    I see a little silhouetto of a man,
    Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.
    Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me.
    (Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
    Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me.
    He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
    Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
    Easy come, easy go, will you let me go.
    Bismillah! No, we will not let you go.
    (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.
    (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go.
    (Let me go.) Will not let you go.
    (Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah.
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
    (Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go.
    Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.

    So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
    So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
    Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
    Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

    Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
    Nothing really matters,
    Nothing really matters to me.

    Any way the wind blows.

    Sure, go ahead and shoot one, pay your fine and go to jail. These are songbirds and protected by federal law. I sure hope you aren't encouraging kids to take pot shots at birds with a bb gun (although there are plenty of birds that can be legally taken). The ability to identify birds through sight or song sharpens the outdoor senses as well as increases our appreciation for all living creatures.

    These are Bohemian Waxwings in their winter plumage which is slightly duller than their breeding colors. Cedar waxwings have a white "eyeliner" which these birds don't have. Also, these birds show a distinctive white wing stripe which is characteristic of Bohemians.

    That's what I said. They both have the yellow tips on the tail. The Bohemian is the only one with a white stripe on the wing.

    This is the "GENERAL DISCUSSION" section. Any subject qualifies, thank you very much, newbie![:D][^][:D]

    Nope - sorry, these are Cedar Waxwings. Don't let the one photo of a prominent white feather throw your ID.

    I went to "Whatbird" and the Cedar Waxwing on that site does look more like the photos than the Bohemian does.

    In the Audubon field guide, it does not.

    I downloaded the middle image of Warpig's post and zoomed in on the lower bird therein, and I see the red at the tip of the wing, though faintly. If I could know where the image was taken, it might help, but it's not really necessary. The belly feathers are definitely yellowish.

    That and the red on the wing seals it, finally. My other final answer was wrong. These are Cedar Waxwings.[:I][8D]

    The one with the white stripe on its wing was the only one in the flock like that. It appeared to be more of a feather which was out of place or ruffled.

    I think they are the Cedar Waxwing.

    Those are pre-ban prices. These were manufactured after the bad expired and are post-ban models. Going by the way they shot up the windshield of my car they are capable of select fire.

    Looks like a Milermore Bird to me.

    That's the birds that bury their heads in the sand and farts and you can hear them for a mile or more.[:D]
