A hearty thank you to Alvan & Reuven for politely correcting me. Thanks to them, I've become a waxwing master and will am in that spirit posting two mediocre-at-best photographs! A cedar w.w. from yesterday at the L. Spit, and a b. waxwing from April 11 in Richmond Hill! Why not? I'm delighted to have learned that I can easily differentiate by looking at the UNDERTAIL feathers - white for the cedar, rust/orange for the bohemian. Also, the breast/belly color is rather different! Huzzah, etc. and thank you again
David

Nice ones David.

I've yet to see a Bohemian Waxwing.

And I am always trying for my one great pic (to me anyways) of a Cedar Waxwing.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

Thanks, folks...
Hey now! I saw cedar waxwings yesterday at Col. Sam; I suppose it's their time of year...
Huzzah one and all

Good catch to differentiate these two beautiful birds!  Does anyone know do Cedar Waxwings stay in the GTA all winter?  or do they migrate?

They mostly migrate, but you can sometimes see them in winter in big flock.
