Nature Tally

I was eating my apple today, and looking out the window. There are berry-fruit trees outside, and all of a sudden, about 6 birds showed up. I noticed the Zorro mask on them, and remembered the berries. Guess what, it was a Cedar Waxwing. Thats the first one that I saw. They kind of look like cardinals, but are much thinner, more narrow beaks, but they have the same "tuft" of feathers on their head. They are tan, almost a pale orange. I first thought they were orioles.

They have since been back to my window at work a few more times.

More recently, I spotted an Eastern Kingbird in the same trees.

So far this year, my bird sightings have included:
Bald Eagle
Cedar Waxwing
American Goldfinch
Orchard Oriole
Eastern Kingbird
Belted Kingfisher
