Cedar Waxwings
Unlike most birds, cedar waxwings live together in large flocks year-round.
In summer they can be found hunting insects near water, but in fall cedar waxwings are usually found together in fading fruit trees.
You can attract cedar waxwings by planting fruit trees, bushes or shrubs.
Cedar waxwings are sociable and very distinctive looking. They have stunning colors that stand out from the other birds. The striking black mask is just one of the characteristics that make them interesting looking. The beautiful blue-grey and brown contrasting colors on the body combined with the yellow tip on its tail make this bird a sight to see.
