Description

(Sold art )and (featured art) Elvis Song, "It Is Now Or Never" A photo taken by Nava Thompson of a Waxwing in the Silver Maple leaves. These are very social birds with each other. They come into the tops of the trees.Seasonal movementsOutside 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 an altitude of 2000 ft.,,,,, The Cedar Waxwing eats berries and sugary fruit year-round, including juniper berries and ivy berries, with insects becoming an important part of the diet in the breeding season. Its fondness for the small cones of the Eastern Redcedar (a kind of juniper) gave this bird its common name.,,,,,When the end of a twig holds a supply of berries that only one bird at a time can reach, members of a flock may line up along the twig and pass berries beak to beak down the line so that each bird gets a chance to eat.
