Hi everybody.  Went for a nature walk at Lake Wabukayne here in Mississauga today and was excited to see 10 Cedar Waxwings, including 2 Juv.   (sorry, I don't have a camera)

Years ago, used to see dozens of these birds at Erindale Park.

Saw a couple dozen up here in Barrie last week.  Great looking bird.

Cool that you got to see so many!  They are definitely "pretty" birds.  :)

Is there any way of identifying which ones are the males and which are the females?

Yes, I also saw 15+ of them earlier this year, first time ever.  They were absolutely beautiful. Never saw them again.   8)

Birding takes my mind off stuff and it adds good life to a tuff life. It also helps me forget about my spine pain and stress.  Laugh, eat, be merry.  Anybody with extra $ may send me some as It will permit me to travel.
