Cedar Waxwings
The Cedar Waxwing is a medium-sized bird, approximately 6-7” long. It is a silky, shiny, almost fake looking bird pale brown in color on it’s head and chest, fading to a soft gray on the wings. Their head has a crest that often lies flat and droops over the back, and their face is masked in black neatly outlined in white. A waxwing’s belly is pale yellow, and the square tail is gray with a bright yellow tip. The most prominent feature of this bird is a small cluster of bright red feathers on their wings. (continued below slideshow)
Cedar Waxwings eat berries and sugary fruit year round with insects being a very important part of their diet during the breeding season. This bird got its name from it’s fondness for the small blue berries of the Eastern Red Cedar (a type of juniper). They sit in fruiting trees swallowing berries whole, or hover over plucking the fruit in mid-air. When the tip of a branch holds the supply of berries that only one bird at a time can reach, the members of a flock will line up along the twig and pass berries beak to beak down the line so that each bird gets a chance to eat. Waxwings will also course over water in search of insects. During the summer this bird will buffet on certain beetles, weevils, carpenter ants, sawfly larvae, cicadas, scale insects, and caterpillars which also serve as food for their young. Look for Cedar Waxwings in woodlands of all kinds, at farms, orchards and suburban gardens where there are fruiting trees or shrubs. They are attracted to the sound of running water, and love to bathe and drink from shallow creeks. To attract waxwings to your yard plant native trees and shrubs that bear small fruits, such as dogwoods, serviceberry, cedar, junipers, and winterberry, while remembering to include a water-source such as a fountain or birdbath. Waxwings nest later in summer than most backyard birds. The reason for this is that they synchronize hatching with fruit development. Both male and female collect nesting material but the female (of course) does most of the nest building. During courtship the male and female sometimes will sit together and pass small objects back and forth, such as flower petals or insects. Mating pairs sometimes show affection by rubbing their beaks together. Keep an eye out for Cedar Waxwings in your neighborhood fruit trees year-round. They are very confident feeders in the winter and will be travelling in flocks. You will rarely see just one at a time. They can be found throughout North America and into Canada. |
