Cedar Waxwing

Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) eat berries, insects and fruit. We see them in this region this time every year, on their way to and from their breeding range. Cedar Waxwing's coloring, especially the bright red/orange wing tips, is made possible by pigments in berries in the bird's diet.
