It is early morning to mid-day & there are groups of Cedar Waxwings. They seem to form one large group but not all of them can fit on one tree as their numbers, by my count, seem to total more than 60 individual birds. They rest at the top of the tree among the highest branches more than at the bottom of the tree or even middle. The trees & waxwings were in the city.

They don’t seem to leave a tree entirely at once but instead in groups. The only time I observed them all leave at once was when they were on a tree that a Northern Mockingbird was territorial of. The Cedar Waxwings do not seem to mind sharing space with the American Robin. They were seen sharing tree limbs. The groups that would leave at a time varied from around five birds to fifteen.

The Waxwings seem to return to the same trees often. They almost hop between trees & then return. Viewed a Ruby Crowned Kinglet as well hopping between branches & often hanging upside down on the branches.

Cedar Waxwing: 60+
American Robin: 6+
Northern Mockingbird: 2
Ruby Crowned Kinglet: 1
