Description
Cedar Waxwings: The Festive Winter Birds of the Inland NorthwestAs the holiday season approaches, the Inland Northwest welcomes a vibrant winter resident, the cedar waxwing. These striking birds, with their black masks, red wing tips, and yellow-edged tails, are hard to miss as they gather in groups, feasting on berries. Unlike most birds, their diet primarily consists of berries, which give their tail feathers a bright red waxy tip. This unique feature signals their age, status, and mating suitability. With the increasing popularity of berry-producing trees in urban landscaping, these elegant birds are becoming a more common and welcome sight during the holiday season.
