Fifty Birds of Town and City
Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum)
Cedar Waxwing is found in open or bushy woodlands or along the margins of agricultural and
residential areas, this sleek, crested brown bird is between the size of a sparrow and a
robin. The broad yellow band at the tip of the tail is conspicuous and its voice is
a high, thin lisp or zeee. Cedar Waxwing is the only sleek brown bird with a long
crest.
Cedar Waxwing breeds from Canada to north Georgia and west Kansas, its nests can be fairly
common in suburban areas, and it winters in irregular patterns throughout the United
States.
