Cedar Waxwing

Central Park, NYC

Bombycilla cedrorum

In Central Park, flocks of Cedar Waxwings can be seen eating fruits and berries, mainly from May through December. They're named for the waxy red substance found at the tips of secondary wing feathers.

One thing I really appreciate about many of your photos is how the background color often blends with the subject. This is another great example of that. Well done!

Excellent as always! Haven't seen any waxwings here so far this year, but probably this winter is too warm and so they find enough food elsewhere.... (no necessity to come to far away Vienna. Last year there were thousands in town)
