We identified this group of birds as Cedar Waxwings on our nature walk with Dr. Belaire. However, I did not take the picture on the walk, I took this photo by the Apartment complex as it was a much closer angle and much easier to see their yellow underbellies, a key feature of the Cedar Waxwings. You can also identify these birds by what I like to call their “mini mohawks,” otherwise known as their crests. They can be found year round traveling in flocks similar to how they are all together in this tree!
