Cedar waxwings
I look forward to seeing these beautiful birds every year. I was delighted to see them this past Sunday, March 8, 2020. I am worried, though, the number that usually fill the berry bushes and trees has decreased this year.

Cedar Waxwings in West Texas.
I had a group of Cedar Waxwing at my bird waterer today. I wasnt familiar with the breed but assumed they are migrating through. They were brown with pale yellow underside and a bright yellow tail. It appeared to have a small tip of orangish color on wing tip. The high pitch call also helped identify them.
Cedar Waxwing in Western Maine
Early February - I spotted several CW in an apple tree on an old farm. The frozen, fruity apples were still clinging to branches and birds were cheerily taking full advantage of the winter bounty. Also spotted American Robin.
We had them in our back yard
We had them in our back yard last summer. We live in upper North West side of Wyoming.
I had a flock of waxwings
I had a flock of waxwings visit about two weeks ago. They came every day for about a week and stripped all the berries from my four huge holly trees. As they were feeding on the berries the whole tree shimmered and shook. So fascinating to watch these beautiful birds. The visited us here in Wilmington NC year, also.

There are always flocks of them in my silver maple tree in Mimico, Etobicoke, Ontario. Years ago when I had a loganberry tree in the back they swarmed it and gorged on the berries for about an hour and then all flew off.
