Fall Birds!

In the fall, Cedar Waxwings can gather by the hundreds to eat berries, filling the air with high, thin, whistles. The name "waxwing" comes from the waxy red secretions found on the tips of the secondaries of some birds. The red wax tips are visible in the bottom bird.

On a recent visit to Pinery Provincial Park, we found 7 Bohemian Waxwings hanging out with a flock of 50+ Cedar Waxwings! They regularly flew from the tree edges to puddles in a parking lot. Notice the rusty undertail which is a key diagnostic factor. Cedar Waxwings are white under the tail.

Brown Creepers search for small insects and spiders by inching upward in a spiral around the trunks and limbs. They move with short, jerky motions, using their stiff tails for support. To move to a new tree, they fly weakly to its base and resume climbing up.
