*** About Cedar Waxwing: Cedar Waxwings are sleek, medium-sized birds known for their unique appearance and social behavior. They feature a prominent crest on their head, a black mask lined with white, and a body adorned with soft, smooth feathers that range from pale brown to gray. The tips of their wings possess small, brilliant red spots that resemble sealing wax, giving these birds their name. Primarily fruit eaters, Cedar Waxwings are often seen in flocks in berry-laden trees where their communal nature is most apparent. Their soft, high-pitched calls and the sight of them fluttering from branch to branch add an audible and visual pleasure to their natural habitats, which extend throughout North America and into parts of Central America during migration periods.
