This one showed up this afternoon for a few minutes. Shot with a K10D Pentax camera and a 200mm F/3.5 Vivitar fixed mount lens (Komine made) at about 100+ feet and then cropped. Can you help me identify it? The detail is there but this bird has very smooth silky feathers. Had a sheen to it.

Looks like a Waxwing. What about the Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedorum) in your part of the world.

A very attractive bird !

Thanks shad. He came back and brought some friends with him tonight. They decided to roost in my black oak tree so I shot some group photos of them. You can go here to see them.
