Cedar Waxwing berry toss…

Cedar Waxwing, Roger’s Pond Park, Kennebunk Maine

My session with the birds at Roger’s Pond Park last week was very productive. I got lots of great action shots of the American Robins and Cedar Waxwings feeding. This Cedar Waxwing is demonstrating the proper technique for small berries. It involves plucking the berry with the very tips of the beak, and then tossing so that it can be swallowed in mid-air. Imagine if we had to eat that way 🙂 I have a feeling that would cure the obesity epidemic in America in short order.
