I came across a flock of ~ 25 cedar waxwings on a 'spring walk' today.
They were consuming our high bush cranberries with gusto.  One swallowed 5
berries in a row, then took off.  I returned with binoculars, and confirmed
that there was not a single Bohemian among them.  A brown creeper and a
group of chickadees all seemed to be attracted to the festivity, and all
matching the same high pitches emitted by the cedar waxwings.   There are
lots of Canada holly berries this year as well, but the high bush
cranberries were getting all of the attention.
