Cedar Waxwing

Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum)

Migrant and summer resident.

A fairly common summer resident throughout Ohio, waxwings will inhabit almost any type of habitat so long as there are trees present.

They are commonly encountered along riparian corridors during the nesting season.

Waxwings often form loose colonies during and after the nesting season.

Along riparian corridors waxwings are often observed foraging in small groups in the upper canopy along the stream corridor during mid to late summer.
