Cedar Waxwings HD- Canon 7D

A flock of Cedar Waxwings feeding in Tompkins County, New York, along Sapsucker Woods Road. The clip's original audio is muted and replaced with the Stokes' recording of cedar waxwings (hence the yellow warbler singing in the background in "November").

Today I happened to see three of these fantastic birds close to my house. Thanks for this clear video, this extended my excitement and joy of seeing them.

[@DonGagnon]

I love this video, in which the author captured a moment.

[@stacyblue1980]

This is so beautiful! I have only seen one in my back yard. If I have seen them before I never noticed. But their call is very striking. Thats what made me look out back that day! I would love to watch a flock of these wonderful darlings. I was so in awe of the fellow who came to visit . His colors were so bold and the sounds! Just amazing. Thank you so much for this video. I enjoy it even with other bird calls . Its perfect and relaxing.

beautiful (slightly ear piercing) cry, I love them. They look silky smooth.

[@sonjafruk8341]

My people named them "kugare": THE PLAGUE. Yes, the bubonic plague. That's their name in Croatian and Serbian bird index (folks name is often "svilorepa": silktail). I wondered why, and I've discovered the story: the Plague-birds are coming here (in bigger number) once or twice in ten years, when they sense that winter will be cold and long. So people connected coming of the silktail birds with hunger, sickness and plague that accompanied it.

This is such great footage! Thank you for posting it!! By far my favorite bird.

[@gilliantracy7991]

Beautiful birds!

[@mh605]

Beautiful. Thanks for the peaceful bird-watching moment.

[@theteenagegardener]

Jeez, they swallow the berries whole! 😂

[@adacrahn]

I saw 2 in Glen Ellyn Il...perched on my service berry. great video

[@natbelhome]

Very nice. Gracious birds, great footage. They are very rare transit visitors in my backyard and hard to catch.

[@kennyc388]

I was at the park yesterday and saw about 25 of these birds feeding on a tree with berries. Now I know what they were. I live in Oregon and have never seen those birds around my place where I have lived for 40 years!!

[@outdoorztime2923]

Beautiful footage of the waxwings. I see you caught a young one eating, too. You wouldn't happen to know what type of tree they're eating from, would you?

[@Thecauseofwhynot]

Oh... That bird is very pretty.

[@lunseisleidee]

So cute!!

[@auntylizzyrocks]

So awesome! I just saw one this morning for the first time in Torrance, CA . Trying to figure out how to attract them.

[@amydason9332]

Wow Beautiful birds...Lovely tree...Wow pretty Amazing...Love it.GOD is Great! His way is perfect.PSALM18:30)

[@kathyapplewhite3005]

We have hundreds come to our backyard every year to feed on berries. I look for them every year and they never fail to show up. We live in west central Georgia.

[@KlondikeMike]

great production.

[@gerredsheasmith]

Is there any birds that look a lot like this but aren’t ? I’m in Toronto , I am a very amateur watcher , came across a small tree today with about 7-14 birds . Didn’t have a camera so I shot some on my cell phone they didn’t come out . They had a crown, grey buff brown and a black eye like a cedar wax wing . I tried my Merlin ID and this is really frustrating me I can’t seem to figure it out

[@outdoorztime2923]

The Bowheian Waxwings look nearly identical, but are slightly larger. They are more on the Western side of the states, I believe. If you'd like to learn more about birding, check out Mark's Backyard Birds. He sometimes goes live and takes questions online - fun stuff, if you're into birding.

[@jonanjello]

Very nice footage, Andysj531. Thanks for sharing.

[@barnowlterry]

Fantastic love it

[@Langheld3]

wonder what kind of berries the Cedar Waxwing is eating.

[@chelsm90]

im no bird expert but the first couple look like bohemian, there confusing me though
bohemian chubbier- grey belly, rusty near tail, brighter yellow on tip, wings have red and white markings. cedar brown belly and more brown on top half of back, slimmer, white near tail, just red marking. So im confused, we mainly have bohemians here (northern BC) so know bohemians more then cedars and other info came from looking it up. I think i will just stick to calling all of them waxwings

[@andysj531]

They were all Cedars, to my dismay - you're certainly lucky to have Bohemians at home though!

[@person7614]

POKEBALL GO!!!!!!

[@ChoctawNawtic4]

Wonderful! What are they eating??

[@thomaslowery3656]

Berries.

[@mrscarawoods]

+Thomas Lowery I'm pretty sure we know its berries... however, +ChoctawNawtic may want to know the species of the plant in the video.

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

@@@mrscarawoods Isn't it rowan? I live in Europe, but the Bohemian waxwings here migrate through my town once a year (only when going south) and eat every rowan berry they can find on their way south.

[@mrscarawoods]

@@@politicallycorrectredskin796 Depending on where this video was taken, it could be a deciduous holly--also known as Possumhaw Holly (Ilex decidua).

[@lennya75]

Great footage what software did you use?

[@terryfaulk4545]

The cedar waxwing is the bird that makes young mean boys stop shooting wild birds when thay see them after thay have killed one God did some of his best work when he made this Master peace still sorry after 50 years
