Have You Ever Seen A Cedar Waxwing With A Topknot (head plume)?

Cedar Waxwing In My Face
On Wednesday morning we stopped on a gravel road overlooking a lake with a steep drop off to my left where we scoped the trees growing from the bottom of the slope for birds.

Suddenly this Cedar Waxwing swooped in and landed right in our faces to feast on the berries.
