Two Birds

I spotted two unusual birds in our mulberry tree today from my studio window. They were gray with crests like cardinals and they had dramatic black eye liner that extended beyond the eye like Egyptian eye make up. One bird had a yellowish chest. They looked smooth and silky and luscious like a succulent plant. I saw one bird feed a berry to the other beak to beak. They were obviously a couple! I called Bill over to look and he got his binoculars and said Wow, cedar waxwings, right here in the city! We took out the bird book and confirmed our sighting.
