Walt - possibly not often seen together because of their preferred meals. Waxwings favor berries, robins favor worms... so they would be most often seen at different levels.

Seeing them together is interesting especially to me because I didn't realize the waxwings were that much smaller than robins. Rather rude behaviour on the part of the center waxwing - well, or least it seems so.

Here is a shot of a group of Robins and Cedar Waxwings that I shot
several years ago in my backyard. This was my first time ever seeing a
Waxwing. Numerous people have commented that seeing the two species
together is very unusual. Why, I do not know.

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.

Hope you enjoy.  Comments welcome.

cheers,
