[Maine-birds] Overwhelming response to Id. request

Thank you everyone, who responded to my request for identification of this bird: http://photosbychance.zenfolio.com/p501323621/h6f3adb78#h6f3adb78

The vast majority of you honed in on the mask and yellow tips on the tail feathers. Identifying it as an immature cedar wax wing. I, for a while thought the

yellow tips were part of the golden rod sticking out from beneath the feathers, and focused on the side feather pattern that looked hawkish to me.

 

Once again, this very knowledgeable and helpful group has humbled me. Closer inspection of the yellow on the tail, shows that it is feather material, not textured

like the golden rod. I'll title this photo cedar waxwing immature and repost it.

 

I appreciate everyone's assistance.

 

Cheers,

Dave
