One was on our back patio when my husband went outside. He may have flown into our backdoor. Anyway, my husband reached down and he hopped onto his hand. He stayed
there for at least 15-20 minutes! My husband took loads of pictures and talked on the phone
while the bird was perched on his palm. I came out and took more pictures. After pooping in his hand, he flew into on of our trees. AWESOME!!!!

A huge flock of these were feasting on the berries of my neighbors huge overgrown wax ligustrum.. This is the first time I have seen Cedar Waxwing in this area. The numbers were enough to fill 2 huge trees. Rockwall,TX

Im north of longview 30 miles. Seen one of these just now, had never before. It was feasting on the red-tip berrys...then just sorta hopped up in the tree.

This flock of birds is covering my yo upon holly & having a feast. Fun to see. I'm in far north Dallas.

I live in Austin. First time I recall seeing this bird in my backyard. Identified it on your website. Nice bird. Nice website.
Andrea 20-Mar-2013 17:09
First time this year I've seen these around. They have been all over my bird bath and feeder all morning. Greenville, TX
Rhonda 28-Mar-2012 20:09
Oops..forgot to add we're in Coppell Texas, just northeast of the DFW airport.
Rhonda 28-Mar-2012 20:08
My pecan tree has been covered with these beautiful little birds several times this week. They peep just like baby chicks. Some have orange on their feathers, and some don't. Some have yellow tips on their tails and some don't. They're lovely!

I saw a flock of them on Catherine St. in Terrell, TX on 3-3-12. They were gobbling up red berries on the hedges like crazy. I didn't know what they were until I found them on your website. Beautiful birds.
Heather 27-Jan-2012 16:38
Saw about 15 this morning drinking from hanging waterbath. Absolutely beautiful birds here in Floresville, Tx. about 30 miles south of San Antonio.
Sue 24-May-2011 23:33
I saw a pair in my evergreens this afternoon. I wasn't sure what they were till I checked it out on this web-site. We are in northern Illinois and I've never seen them here before. Sue

This morning, at about 7:00 I say a flock of 50+ flying from tree to tree in our very wooded front "yard". They were eating wild cherries from several of our wild cherry trees! I had never seen this type of bird before, so I looked it up here. I am in Diana, TX (NE Texas). I will be on the lookout for them again tomorrow morning.

We live in Teague (Central Texas - 50 miles East of Waco) and had around 20+ in our yard yesterday. First time to see, beautiful birds.
JoMomma00 12-Apr-2011 13:48
I live in Crowley, Texas and I had a flock of 50+ in my front yard when I got home from work yesterday. I am hoping they will be there again today.
Alejandro 25-Feb-2011 15:57
These are all over the cedar trees here in Lago Vista Texas, Beautiful bird up close.....WOW!!!

These have been here in Garland for some time, but finally have started landing in my tree - close enough to ID. Beautiful birds, but ever since someone likened their song to a squeaky wheel I can't get it out of my head! THANKS for a great web page BTW - I've been looking for such a page for some time!

Sorry I forgot to say where. Our Mullberry tree that the waxwings love is in Harker Heights, TX.
Guest 25-Apr-2010 22:39
We have a mullberry tree in our backyard and every year we get a large flock of probally 50+ and they arrived today just as the berrys rippened.
Guest 19-Apr-2010 14:58
We have a flock of these birds visit our holly bushes in our backyard every day around 2 pm. Our resident Mockingbird is very territorial so it's pretty funny to watch the MB trying in vain to chase off the Waxwings when they land on the holly bushes.
Guest 11-Apr-2010 23:20
My husband and I saw about 5 of these beautiful birds on our pecan tree in the front yard looking for bugs to eat. It was fun watching them in Abilene, Texas.

April 4, 2010 (Easter Sunday)

Saw about 30-40 of these beautiful birds in our Copperas Cove, Texas backyard at our feeders and in the trees around 6 pm. I had an idea that they 'might' be cedar wax wings so I came on the computer to find out. And they were! They are beautiful medium sized birds!
Beckie Kelley 30-Mar-2010 01:29
I didn't know what the comotion was out in our tree. It was a many many of these birds flying about in and out of a tree either knocking down food or bugs to eat. It was amazing and their red tips were beautiful. It was the first time for me to see them in my area. B Kelley Lumberton, Texxas

3-27-10 6 p.m. Round Rock, TX About 30 in flock appeared in around bird bath; never seen this type of bird before. Beautiful species.
judy 27-Mar-2010 14:48
hundreds at the entrance to my neighborhood in crowley, tx . beautiful!
Guest 23-Mar-2010 03:04
They came, they ate, they left... I am glad that the berries on the tree were good enough for them, got wonderful pictures and some video footing. Ausitn TX 78723

They have been in Las Colinas along the Trinity River for the last week. First time ever to spot them.
Guest 17-Mar-2010 14:27
We also live in White Oak & have seen these birds for the first time. They are feasting under our cedar tree. Beautiful!
Guest 16-Mar-2010 18:31
Spring Break treat- looking out my window in Austin TX and saw a flock of these lovely swirling birds. Thanks to you for posting these birds, I can now say that I have seen something other than grackles!!!
Guest 11-Mar-2010 18:14
Just enjoyed the spectacle of hundreds of the cedar waxwings swooping from the trees to our little pond. Such a beautiful sight.
Guest 03-Mar-2010 14:17
There are hundreds of them in The Colony these days....
Guest 01-Mar-2010 19:33
They are all over my backyard, eating the holly berries. Very pretty and songful!

We had at least a hundred flying out in the front yard. First time we have seen them in Wylie. Beautiful.
Steve 21-Feb-2010 21:10
Just had one fly into my window in Grapevine, it stunned him, but no harm. I had never seen this bird, so I looked it up.
John 15-Feb-2010 01:14
I saw a swarm of these 2/13/10 feeding on on my Yaupon tree berries in far North Dallas. They were joined by Robins - all seemed thrilled to get some food after our record snow was almost melted away - never seen them around here before in 25 years & spent a little time identifying via internet on your site - thanks!
Debra 14-Feb-2010 21:40
I live in White Oak a small town just on the out skirts of Longview Texas and had never seen these birds before.But a flock of them showed up with Robins behind my home on February 12,2010.The Robins were what I noticed first, had to be close to sixty or more of the Robins ,then I saw these beautiful birds.
turfcat73311-Feb-2010 14:08
There was a swarm of these birds moving through the nature preserve behind my apartment in Garland near the Firewheel area. I also noticed a number of Robins flying with them. A really beautiful bird. February 10, 2010
Janette 10-Feb-2010 16:57
We watched a whole flock of these in our neighborhood this morning in McKinney, TX. Had a hard time getting kids to school on time because we stayed at the window so long!
Linda 06-Feb-2010 19:37
This is the first time I have ever seen a waxwing at my home in Jacksonville, Texas. I have a whole flock of them.
