Happy #NationalSunglassesDay, here's to birds that look like they are wearing shades.

Cedar Waxwing: with thin, lisping cries, flocks of Cedar Waxwings descend on berry-laden trees and hedges, to flutter among the branches as they feast. Photo: Kelly Colgan Azar
Masked Booby: a large and rare seabird. Photo: Beth Allan
Common Yellowthroat: as the only one of our warblers that will nest in open marshes, it is found in practically every reed-bed and patch of cattails from coast to coast. Photo: Kenneth Cole Schneider
Pileated Woodpecker: a big, dashing bird with a flaming crest, the largest woodpecker in North America Photo: Jerry McFarland
Bullock's Oriole: in the west, this oriole is common in summer in forest edge, farmyards, leafy suburbs, isolated groves, and streamside woods, especially in cottonwood trees. Photo: Gregory "Slobirdr" Smith
