Cedar Waxwings On The Move

Cedar Waxwings are traveling through my city located in North Texas.

I know they are here as soon as I step outside and hear their high-pitched bird calls.
If you want to listen to their bird call you can do so here.


They are such a pretty bird with very distinctive markings!
They love to perch way up high in the trees in groups of 30 or more.

They roost overnight in some trees over our back driveway.
They make quite the mess on our cars, nevertheless I still love seeing them and hearing them!

All of the above photos are of Cedar Waxwings perched in a tree in my next door neighbor's yard.
Cedar Waxwings don't stick around for our hot summers - they will continue to fly north!



Have a Blessed Day!

They a beautiful bird. I don't think we get them this far up North:)Lovely photos, Violet:)

Thank you. That's a shame, but I bet you have lots of pretty birds up your way!

Great pictures!! I still have yet to get a good shot of them in my yard.

I have been trying to lure the Cedar and Bohemian Waxwings to my yard by putting fruit out on a platform feeder. I see them around everywhere and the fruit always disappears..... might be working. Now just to snap some pics! =)

Thank you and good luck!

A great article. Thank you!
I listened a little from the link you forwarded, I was interested in these birds.
Cedar Waxwings are social birds that you will probably see in the herd throughout the year. They sit in the fruit trees that swallow the fruit or pull them out in the middle of the air with a short flash of light. They also cross over the water for insects flying like tubers, slightly clumsy swallows.

Very nice,...Nature is the best source of energy & health...Wonderful, I wish I could be there 🙌🌹🥀🏵🌺🌻🌼🌷⚘🌱🌲🌳🌴🌵🌾🌿☘🍀🍁🍂🍃?

Surprisingly beautiful birds, they probably are very beautiful sing. Thank you for sharing.

Great pictures and I'm glad I learned something new! :)

Never heard of a bird migrating in summer (to flee the heat). If I saw a waxwing in my area (cedar or not) I'd have to call the RSPCB to report this miracle! And you got such a clear shot of it, in all its waxy colour. What a delight. (Any idea what tree that is? Flowers and leaves at the same time? Is this a picture for now -already?)

Don’t know what the tree is- I’m sorry! Yes these photos were taken a couple of days right before I posted them

Beautiful pics :)

Great photo!
Here, in Siberia here in Siberia, in winter they move from forest to town, closer to people. They fly in huge packs. They eat rowan, especially fermented, and drunken people fall to the earth:)
