A view from below.
These cedar waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) were among a bunch that would perch in this oak tree every afternoon this past winter.
"A treat to find in your binocular viewfield, the Cedar Waxwing is a silky, shiny collection of brown, gray, and lemon-yellow, accented with a subdued crest, rakish black mask, and brilliant-red wax droplets on the wing feathers. In fall these birds gather by the hundreds to eat berries, filling the air with their high, thin, whistles. In summer you’re as likely to find them flitting about over rivers in pursuit of flying insects, where they show off dazzling aeronautics for a forest bird." - allaboutbirds.org

@Swede1952 We have a couple of mountain ash trees in the yard and occasionally get a few. I grew up in western New York and we would get large flocks to our feeder.
@Micromineral
Next winter I’ll set out some fruits to attract them into my yard.
