Bombycilla cedrorum
The cedar waxwing eats berries and sugary fruit year-round, including juniper berries and ivy berries, with insects becoming an important part of the diet in the breeding season. Its fondness for the small cones of the Eastern Red cedar (a kind of juniper) gave this bird its common name.
