These are probably common, but I'm having trouble with ID. Please note yellow at end of tail, wrap-around black mask and tufted head.
Please and thank you.

The yellow tail tip is a cedar waxwing trait...they could be juveniles...but check out cedar wax wings...could be a place to start.

Yes!!! The color varies a lot in waxwings but I found an exact match on the Audubon site.
They travel in a flock of 20-30, and eat mostly fruit and bugs. That's a fig tree where they stopped for breakfast. Much appreciated.

Cedar waxwings have masks like that and a tuft on the head. Good shot, Larry!

Thanks for the nice comments Bob and Jane and Wayne and Sue. This was shot solely for ID purposes and any resemblance to a good shot is completely accidental.
