cedar waxwing
\ce“dar wax”wing\, n. (Zo["o]l.)
a species of chatterer (
Bombycilla cedrorum, formerly
Ampelis cedrorum) widely distributed over temperate North
America, so named from its frequenting cedar trees; -- called
also
cedar bird,
cherry bird,
Canada robin, and
American waxwing. It is a brownish bird about 7 inches
long, between the size of a robin and a sparrow, has a crest

name comes from the black color of the tips of the wings,
like that of a black sealing wax. They sometimes are seen in
flocks.
