18; Cedar Waxwing
  • We have stayed at Vicki's sisters house in Didsbury Alberta for the last week.  The town has an abundance of trees and bushes for birds to feed on.  It is no wonder we saw hundreds of these birds feasting on Mountain Ash. 
  • This fast flying bird travels at unusually high altitudes.  It has a pleasant vocalization.  The nesting pattern has them building more than one nest in an area lay 4-6 eggs and incubating in 14-15 days.
  • People say they have seen these bird getting drunk on berries to the point of falling out of the tree.
  • The Bohemian Waxwing is said to travel with them in smaller numbers.  I have yet to confirm this.  My eyes will be on the trees until I do.
