[edit] Cedar Waxwings in Houston TX

Houston TX March 28, 2005 - Small flock of Cedar Waxwings have been here for two days. The cars are now parked on the street!!!!! They are a delight - very calm and very busy eating the flower buds from a tree that I wish I knew the name of. This is the first Cedar Waxwing(s) I've seen in my 30 something years in Texas. I must not have been in the right spot at the right time. Their "sreeeee" is a little ear piercing at times but it is usually only 1 or 2 who do so - very quiet flock - that is the reason the car had a new paint job - I didn't know the birds were there until I saw my car and looked up!!!!!

[edit] Merge "References" with "further readings"

Unless there is something distinct about the lit. in these two sections, the "References" and "further readings" should be merged. And it should not be called references unless they are citations used in the article.Fredwerner 22:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Young Rejection

Is it true that sometimes the Cedar Waxwing rejects its young and kills them? Should this be added to the article? Swannie 18:16, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rice bird

I removed the part in the intro that said the cedar waxwing is better known as a rice bird. I can't find a mention that "rice bird" is another name for waxwings, much less a more well-known name. Joyous! | Talk 01:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
