What kind of bird is this?

[Depack]

I took a picture of a bird today and have no idea what kind of bird it is since the only two kinds of birds I can really identify are robins and cardinals!! Thanks for your help

I use http://www.whatbird.com to (try to) identify birds It's usually helpful! You can put in variables like the bird's color, size, shape, etc, as well as your location. I like to view the resulting list in Icon view (instead of Text view) - makes it a little easier to look at possible matches ('cuz if I knew the name of the bird I was trying to ID, I wouldn't be looking it up!)

From the pictures it sure does look like a cedar waxwing. Never even heard of that kind of bird before. Thanks

Definitely a cedar waxwing, one of my favorite birds to photograph. I love the striking face colors and the tail looks like it was dipped in yellow paint. They are so beautiful. Great photograph too, by the way!

Thanks for the kind words about my picture. I really appreciate it and since I'm just a beginner it's nice to hear someone thinks it was good.
