Cedar Waxwings

Several times this year we had up to 125 Cedar Waxwings land in our garden.

Thank you for your amazing pictures, Marinus, they are lovely!

Many years ago when I first emigrated to Canada, I lived in Timmins, and that is where I first saw Cedar Waxwings - I thought they were such beautiful birds, as I had never seen birds like them.

A flock of them would land in a Mountain Ash tree and quickly eat each and every one of the orange berries!

Waxwings spend time in my pond water feature, usually about 4, they come, splash around and leave.

In early June a young Cedar Waxwing was found dead on my terrace. It apparently hit the glass or rail, it was obviously alone, but I believed they travel in groups, so this one may have been lost. It was definitely was a Waxwing, the colours and eye patch are very distinctive. This is the first I have ever seen in Toronto. sorry to see that it was killed.

2015, and I have only seen a couple of pairs of Waxwings, and I have lots of cherries. Last year the same.

We had a pair of these many years ago in our yard, we had constructed a homemade hammock with soft rope, and every cross over in our weave we had tied a small string with the same soft rope, my husband said after hanging it we would have to start taking of all the small pieces of string, but luck would have it these birds wanted it for their nest and within a couple days had untied every piece, leaving us with our finished hammock and them with a very soft next.
