My entry to #featheredfriday hosted by the lovely and gracious 
Pin cherries (sometimes called bird cherries) are a small bright red cherry with a large pit. The birds are welcome to eat them. I know some people make jam with the pin cherries but I find them too small to work with and to remove the pit.
The bird’s diet includes cedar cones, insects and fruit.
Their preferred habitat consists of trees at the edge of wooded areas or open forests, especially those that provide access to berry sources as well as water. I often see them in the fruit trees in the backyard when the pin cherries are ripe.

Cedar Waxwing taking a survey from the spruce tree.
Cedar Waxwings are native to North and Central America, breeding in open wooded areas in southern Canada and imigrating in winter to the southern half of the United States and sometimes going as far South as Costa Rica and Panama.
I like the black strip across the eye area and the Cedar Waxwing’s rustic colouring.
There were a lot of the birds around but I found it difficult to get them to sit still long enough to photograph.
This one is checking the ground for insects.
