Moss For The Nest, Fruit For The Belly
Pausing for a moment to gather some frizzy moss for its nest, Cedar Waxwings are often seen on Hog Island, Maine, feeding on wild fruits such as currants, gooseberries, and raspberries.
One of the few North American birds that specializes in foraging fruit, Cedar Waxwings can survive on fruit alone for several months.
