Avise's Birds of the World

Cedar Waxwing
Bombycilla cedrorum

Native Range: North America and Latin America

Notes: a sleek and seemingly well-groomed bird with a crest and warm-brown plumage; eats berries, and sometimes gets drunk when ingesting too much over-ripe fruit; also catches insects on the wing; forms mid-sized flocks that like to perch in the topmost branches of bare trees; often first detected by its high and thin vocalizations that sound like sreee, issued in flight as well as when perched.
