Pretty Cedar Waxwings are regular visitors to the pond. There are typically 4 of them at a time. This was taken from the house probably through the glass patio door. They are the fastest bathers of all the birds it seems and it’s a real challenge to get a focused picture. If I’m outside, I usually hear them before I see them. They are quite vocal but only soft squeaky chirps. |

About
Uploaded on Sep 10, 2010 The Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) is a member of the family Bombycillidae or waxwing family of passerine birds. It breeds in open wooded areas in North America, principally southern Canada and the northern United States. Outside the Breeding season, Cedar Waxwings often feed in large flocks numbering hundreds of birds. This species is irruptive, with erratic winter movements, though most of the population migrates farther south into the United States and beyond, sometimes reaching as far as northern South America. They will move in huge numbers if berry supplies are low. Rare vagrants have reached western Europe, and there are two recorded occurrences of Cedar Waxwing sightings in Great Britain. Individual Bohemian Waxwings will occasionally join large winter flocks of Cedar Waxwings. In winter, these birds can be very confident and will come into gardens for berry bushes and trees and to drink from fountains or bird baths. Cedar waxwings fly at 25 miles per hour and fly at the altitude of 2000 ft. above ground |
