Over the past couple of weeks, I've seen groups of up to 20 cedar waxwings around the Forrestal Center in Princeton. Today was the jackpot: about a hundred of them, concentrated in 2 trees. There were some berries lying on the ground nearby; about ten birds at a time flew down to check things out, then a car came along and all went back to the tree, then another ten down to the ground, etc. I was standing about ten feet away from the spot, and as long as I didn't move, they weren't upset.

I saw about 50 or so in a tree down in Ventura last weekend. An interesting exercise with Cedar Waxwings is to check the tips of the tails. Some have been found to have orange tail tips instead of the usual yellow. Haven't seen any myself though. Good hunting, Mike
