Waxwing Invasions

If you have any sort of fruit or berry bearing tree tree in your garden, Mountain Ash or Crabapple for example, the chances are you have been invaded momentarily by a flock of Cedar Waxwings this winter.  Out of nowhere it seems hundreds will descend and partake in a feeding frenzy as if there is no tomorrow, then leave as quickly as they arrived having splattered the snow with excess berries and their just as red droppings! Always gregarious and always in a hurry, winter would not be the same without several visits from a flock or two of these beautiful but messy birds.
