Cedar Waxwing

Tail Color Variant

Viewed 13 Times

Cedar Waxwings travel together in small groups and we found about six of them feasting on the seeds produced in a nearby cedar pine tree.  They just gobbled them up! Look at the bird in the background and see that its tail feathers are orange/red.  This is not normal and comes when the bird feeds on a recently (1960s) introduced Honeysuckle tree.
