I ~think~ that's what these beautiful birds are - except that I don't
see the red wingtips that Cedar Waxwings are supposed to have.
Otherwise, they look exactly like photos I've seen of that species:

Whatever they are, they're quite beautiful. If you can confirm or
tell me what they are I'd be most appreciative.
i'm sure they are Cedar Waxwings; i saw them in Colorado the first time
this spring in Glenwood Springs, but had seen them at times during my
youth in Maine; which are different enough that i understand the red tip
is optional
the only possible confusion would be the Bohemian Waxwing, about which
i remember my mother also remarking in Maine, but yours clearly aren't:
