It has a black mask-like line through the eyes, a pale yellow belly, and a bright yellow tip on the tail. One of its most striking features is the small, red, wax-like droplets on the tips of its secondary feathers, which give the bird its name. Cedar Waxwings are sociable birds, often seen in large flocks, particularly during their non-breeding. season. They primarily feed on fruits and berries, but will also consume insects, especially when feeding their young. Cedar Waxwings are known for their nomadic lifestyle, moving unpredictably across their range in North America, depending on food availability.
