Birdes,
I am constantly amazed at the things Cedar Waxwings do. Yesterday, I came home
from shopping and heard the high notes of Waxwings. I looked at the dead tree
in my backyard and counted 500+ Waxwings in a single tree-making it look like
leaves were on the tree! Most lifted off together a little later.
Today, I heard them again and there were about 200 in the same tree. I
casually glanced across the street at my neighbor's Tulip Poplar, which has
leaves, and it was working alive with Waxwings. This is obviously a very large
flock and I have no idea what the reason might be for them to spend time in a
dead tree. The largest number of Waxwings I have ever seen before this was a
flock of about 200 a few years ago.
