Cedar Waxwing


Common Name: Cedar Waxwing

Scientific Name: Bombycilla cedrorum

Range: The bird breeds from Alaska east to Newfoundland, south from Illinois to Virginia, and spends its winters from the British Columbia and Great Lakes area southward.

Habitat: The Cedar Waxwing lives in open woodlands, clearings, towns and parks.

This bird is very gregarious during the winter time and during migration. The birds usually feed together in tight packed bunches.

Although the above image is hard to see, because of the clearly visable pointed head it is easy to identify as a Cedar Waxing.
