Two Cedar Waxwings mixed in with a flock of 40 Bohemians, perched in a flowering soft maple tree 2 houses east of the intersection of Hunters Bay Drive and Silverwood Dr. on the north side. Seen with binoculars around 11am on Mon. Mar. 24. Ample time to study them. Distinguishing features of the cedars were noted including pale belly and white undertail, warm brown upper breast and neck, and white in forehead, lack of white in wing, smaller size. I've seen Bohemians many times on our street in winter, but this is the first time I've seen Cedars so early in the season here and the first time in a mixed flock. Good chance to compare the two species side by side.

Note - I reported this on eBird, but it seems that since Cedar Waxwings have not been reported so early in the season here before, the observation is not showing up in the regional page. I suppose it is stuck awaiting approval from some reviewer.
