Three images, three views of the Bohemian Waxwings

First Image: Top & side views.

For the top/tail view on the left, note: a) the white tips of the primary greater coverts and of the secondaries, b) the yellowish outer tips to the primaries, c) the small bright red waxy tips to the secondaries and also d) the bright yellow tail tip.

Reportedly, the colourful waxy projections vary by age and sex; young females have the least and older males the most.


Top, side and undertail views.

Note the deep reddish-brown undertail coverts of the top bird.
