Cardinal like bird may be Tufted Titmouse or Cedar Waxwing

Getting Ready for the Great Backyard Bird County Feb. 13-16, 2009
About: Reader wants help identifying cardinal like bird

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I forwarded this request over to Wendy Burt, the Adair County Garden Club's bird expert and this is her reply.
Mystifying description, but it could have been a Tufted Titmouse or a juvenile Cedar Waxwing. Both have crests, like the Cardinal. The size/coloring of the Cedar Waxwing is more like a female Cardinal, but the head/face of the Tufted Titmouse is whiter. Hard to say without seeing the bird.
If Sara can attend the Backyard Birding 101 class on Saturday, February 7, 2009, at 10:00amCT at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY, we can try to identify it then.
