Down the Hatch
A Cedar Waxwing prepares to inhale a crabapple in our front yard. Every year this tree is covered in fruit and much of it makes it through the winter, providing needed food for spring migrators as they move northward.
These Waxwings eat fruit almost exclusively and unlike many other fruit eaters, they don't regurgitate the seeds but let them pass right through their bodies without any ill effects.
