Bird of the Week: Cedar Waxwing

Tuesday February 24, 2009
This week’s featured bird is a beautiful backyard visitor, the cedar waxwing. These birds are particularly popular during the winter months, when they may travel in flocks of hundreds and frequently visit trees and shrubs to feed on abundant overripe fruit.
