Bird: Flock of cedar waxwings..........

Cedar waxwings are tiny, pretty, gregarious birds........

I saw this of the waxwings perched on leafless alder tree ( a birch tree), emitting melodious songs. I tried for better pictures, but this is all I got. These yellow-bellied birds camouflaged with the yellowish catkins  and made it difficult to focus on them. Anyway, it was an incredible feeling to watch a flock of about twenty waxwings at a time, that too in wild.

They certainly are not a common sight........
However, I have been lucky to observe them couple of times more.......
Once on a sycamore tree by the San Diego river preserve........
And recently, on a fruit-laden old mulberry tree on the Mission San Diego premises....
