Would appreciate any help identifying the baby bird in the photo, thank you.

Looks like a young Ceder Waxwing. Do you have any adults around?

And the last time I've seen them in person was in 4th grade... quite a while ago!

Thank you both, I did a google-image search and enjoyed seeing photos of the cedar waxwings. I don't think I've ever seen an adult one around here. That bit of yellow is very distinctive, so I'll watch for them. Thanks again, John

Re: What kind of bird is this?
Sure seems a strange time of year to be seeing a juvenile bird of any kind!! I'm seeing tons of cedar waxwing coming thru right now...their regular stops at the ornamental crabapples...flocks of 'em!
They are a beautiful bird! A few years ago, I found one on the deck that had killed itself by hitting the window... I was surprised at the bit of red on the wings...it really IS "wax-like"!................Pam

The photo was taken August 15th, 2009; I've only now remembered to post it!
