Cedar Waxwings

I like both species of waxwings that visit our area, the Cedar (pictured here) and the Bohemian. They don't overlap very much in range, especially in the summer. For identification purposes one of the biggest differences in field marks is the color of the undertail coverts: on the Cedar they're yellow, on the Bohemian they are rusty red. 

These images were taken at Windy Point Campground along the Tieton River in the Mt. Rainer wilderness and at Twin Harbors Campground near Westport, Washington on the central Washington coast. No, not the best images I've ever taken...
