More on Cedar Waxwing
Waxwing - any of three species of perching songbirds of the Northern Hemisphere.
Cedar waxwings will sometimes pass berries to one another as they perch in a line on a tree branch. Occasionally a cedar waxwing will become drunk or even die from eating berries that have fermented.
Cedar Waxwings nest in both rural and urban environments. Often this is in close proximity to humans, perhaps because of the greater likelihood of finding fruits or berries when needed. Most arrive on their breeding ground in late May and early June.
Cedar Waxwings travel in large flocks of 40 or more during the winter, calling constantly with their soft whistled trills, flying from tree to tree. They feed on berries in winter, insects during milder seasons.
