A juvenile Cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) collided with one of the back windows today.The thud was undeniable and the little fellow died almost instantly. This was my first sighting of a Cedar waxwing in this area. When I looked it up on the internet, one of the comments was that Cedar waxwings are vulnerable to window collisions. The Audubon has some suggestions for the prevention of these collisions.
More on the subject later.
