I was out walking in the hikiing trail by my house and saw a really pretty bird and looked it up. Cedar waxwing. Really cool looking! Seemed like it was eating gray dogwood berries.

Re: Cedar waxwing bird
Not my picture but this is what it looked like. Just a neat looking critter and it was flying around about 5 to 10 ft away for a while

Re: Cedar waxwing bird
They live near me too. I have this awesome app that tells you what birds are in the area based on their sound. Its called Merlin Bird ID. Just this morning I put it on at 4am while I was in the tent in the backyard with my son, let it run till I woke up again at 7am and it had picked up 35 different species!

Re: Cedar waxwing bird
Cool post Mike! We have Cedar Waxwings around here in southern Wisconsin too. I don't see them often, but when I do they come through in small packs feeding on berries, kind of like how Black Capped Chickadees work through in a little pack. I'm always thrilled to see the Waxwings!
Thanks for the app suggestion! I just downloaded it!

Re: Cedar waxwing bird
They are beautiful.
We had a migrating flock hang around for a couple weeks at one point. They went back and forth from some nearby tall trees to the feeder and back, fueling for migrating, no doubt. Was fun tonsee them.

Re: Cedar waxwing bird
I had a flock of them descend on me on stand once. I see them occasionally around here too. Cool bird.
