Cedar Waxwing - Blog Posts

Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum), taken March 9, 2025, in Georgia, US

A small flock of waxwings visited a couple days ago! They're very skittish, so it's hard to get any decent pictures, but even from far away they make nice subjects. When they stop by they usually ransack the holly tree in the yard, but the robins have already picked it clean, so they combed over the leftover seeds from the tulip trees and whatever else they could find instead. Late birds earn no berry snacks!

Cedar waxwings congregated in the pine tree before diving down to the berries.

Gratuitous and somewhat poorly lit shots of my personal fave: cedar waxwings!
