The Cedar Waxwing is a smooth-plumaged songbird with a crest, black mask and yellow-tipped tail. It usually travels in flocks and is strongly associated with berry-producing trees and shrubs. Fruit dominates the diet for much of the year, supplemented by insects in summer. The red wax-like tips on the wing feathers are more numerous in older birds. Breeding starts relatively late, when summer fruit becomes available.
