CEDAR WAXWING
Bombycilla cedrorum: 6.5-8
Cedar Waxwings range throughout most of the United States. They generally are berry eaters, but will catch flyes in off season. They have a very sleek appearance and are very colorful, with red spotes on their wings, a yellow tail stripe, and a black mask.
These Cedar Waxwings were eating the blooms on this crabapple tree (as you can see in picture 2). They seemed very intent on doing this and didn't mind too much that I came right up to them to take pictures. I remember canoeing a while ago and seeing a bunch of them pass berries to eachother while sitting lined up on a branch. It is always nice to see them.
