Cedar Waxwing (Juvenile)
Hello Steemians
I came across a large number of these juvenile cedar waxwings this morning.
Very difficult to have an accurate number because they never stopped
moving, but could have been 50 or more.
The mask is not as developed as the mature, and dusky streaks below.
The yellow tip of the tail is very clear.
To attract them to your yard, berry bearing vegetation such as.....
dogwood, serviceberry, cedar, juniper, hawthorn, and winterberry, would be best.
There have been sightings of some with an orange tint to the tail, instead of the
yellow. Scientists believe it is due to an invasive plant species, the Morrow’s honeysuckle
which contains a red pigment, it mixes with the normal yellow and hence the tail
has an orange colour.
Amazing photos, I am following and resteemed for you
