Waiting for summer fruit -- Part 2

A few nights ago I posted some photos of juvenile Cedar Waxwings in Bodega Bay see "Waiting for summer fruit" on 18 September 2020.  Ruth wrote to say that there wasn't confirmed nesting data for Cedar Waxwings in Sonoma County.  Well, since this is a rare event, I'm including a couple more photos for the record:

 
(Eric thinks the young waxwings look like little dinosaurs.  Do you agree?)
 
 
 
(This bird starting actively begging when an adult flew in with food.)
 
 
Cedar Waxwings generally nest in more northern locations e.g., from southeast Alaska through British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon, and extending down to northwestern California (Del Norte and Humboldt counties) Sonoma County is south of the main breeding range for them along the West Coast.
