Description
I apologize for my meager camera, but this bird was sitting next to our fishpond, and let me get to within 5 feet or so of it, but I have no idea what the devil it is! The face is very striking, but the most amazing thing is the sharp red-to-yellow color gradient on the tips of his tail feathers. I have a suspicion it's a predatory bird, but no idea what kind. Any suggestions?

No lo se , mas me encanta tu jardin con un espejo de agua bello ;)
Nicely done shot and collage...sorry, the bird looks familiar but I cannot truly identify it.
very good shot. I know nothing of birds
Looks a bit like a titmouse. Found this link http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/817/_/Bridled_Titmouse.aspx. Hope that helps. BTW great captures and collage. It's a really cute bird!
I looked through my books and then did a google search and looked at the images tab. It looks to me like it may be a juvenile cedar waxwing or perhaps a bohemian waxwing. Not knowing where you live, it's hard to say. They eat insects and berries, but shouldn't be a threat to your fish. Try a google or yahoo search in your area, and click on the images tab. Nice lush growth on your pond, btw. :)
I agree with CavalierLady, looks waxwing-ish to me~ =) Nice montage~
Excellent capture!
i agree about a juvenile waxwing, from the face and the distinctive colours coming out in the tail. see a nice adult here: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1386776 looks like you have them nesting very close by. if you have anything with berries on it, you may see them feeding, especially when the weather gets colder.
Great capture...
Oh such marvelous idea... great, great composition my friend!
I am in no way an expert, but a baby cardinal comes to mind. . . Nice and fun photos Richard!!!
so cute but i cannot say the kind of bird! Great shot and collage too :)
Oh wow!! No idea about it, but it sure is extremely fluffy and cute:)))! Awesome capture!:)
Cute lil critter. I thought titmouse too til I tried to figure out the color on the tail ;)
I think Maria is right about the name.I have one in my gallery. beautiful captures
