A Flock Of Cedar Waxwings

November 30, 2025

Hanging out at the Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra), a large number of Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum). Word must be out that there are berries here.

Sociable birds, Cedar Waxwings often travel in groups. Unlike many other birds, they even build their nests in close proximity to one another. While looking for a source of food, they will gather in large flocks, into the hundreds of individuals, often including Robins (Turdus migratorius).

  1. When your berries are gone, send the flock my way. I’ve got three big American Hollie’s loaded with berries!
