Another sign of spring is the return of cedar waxwings. We usually see them in a group or ear-full (as they’re known collectively) but I only saw this one bird. It was nice to get him out in the open before the leaves were out.
Just seeing your post title got me excited! Fabulous shot, Belinda!! I love the contrasting colors and beauty of these birds, and have only captured a small ‘ear-full’ once in a tree. (new group term for me, thanks for mentioning it!)

I saw and heard a small flock of them today, but they did a good job of staying hidden in the branches. They are beautiful birds!

A beautifully clear photograph: might that be pollen on its tail? I love the collective name for these birds – relating to ear wax?

Thank you. The yellow you see is part of their colouring. I love their group name too, it might have to do with their call.
