This waxwing is one of many that have been feasting on a Mountain Ash tree
since late May in Norglenwold at Sylvan Lake.
We believe it is a Bohemian Waxwing but will look more closely tomorrow.
Bohemian Waxwings are bigger, chunkier, and brawnier then the sleek, thin Cedar Waxwing. Bohemian Waxwings are only an inch longer than Cedar Waxwings but weigh almost twice as much on average. If the undertail is orangeish then the bird is a Bohemian Waxwing. If it is white it is a Cedar Waxwing.

We think these are Bohemian Waxwings. Some further facts we found.
A bohemian waxwing is primarily gray, with a peachy blush around its mask and a rusty undertail. The cedar waxwing, on the other hand, has a mostly brown body with a yellowish breast and belly. Its undertail is white. The bohemian waxwing is bigger, about the size of an American robin. Cedar waxwings are between a sparrow and a starling in stature.
