The Cedar Waxwing with its dramatic markings and subtle shadings flies through the Chicago area twice a year in large, social flocks of 200 -300 birds, shape-shifting in dazzling patterns. They are primarily fruit eaters that will ocassionally gorge themselves into a drunken stupor if the fruit is overripe. They live in the Northern forests of upper Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada.
