I had a premonition that a bird would perch in this tree. It's the tallest tree out front of our house. I stood on the elevated front porch and waited. My patience was rewarded after only a few minutes when this bird, which I'd never seen before, appeared. Unfortunately, he perched so that his head was hidden, most of the time, behind that little twig of a branch. Word from the bird watching forum is that this is a cedar waxwing.
