	Waxwings are Wild -- special attributes of bohemian waxwing and cedar waxwing, (Bohemian Waxwing and Cedar Waxwing) ...
		Waxwings are beautiful birds of mystery -- masked bandits raiding fruit from forests and orchards or snatching unsuspecting insects -- with unpredictable patterns of movement and migration and fascinating rituals of social interaction, gluttonous "drunken" revelry and tender, gentle food sharing.
		Waxwings can be observed in several flight patterns: when the flock is perched in a tree or shrub, birds may be locally active individually or in small groups, in a smooth, graceful, fluttering flight movement, often hovering briefly, especially when engaging in flycatching behavior.
		Waxwings are contantly on the move, visiting a variety of sites each day, so even when they are regularly visiting an active site, one still might not see the birds at a specific site depending on whether or not the observer happens to be there at the same time the flock is present.
