Hi all, I encountered two cute, short-tailed and obviously recent fledgling Cedar Waxwings this evening at the Hile School Rd wetland. They sat next to each other on a branch begging with open bills ( showing a bit of yellow at the corners) at an adult that landed near them. The adult fed both of them, even having to move to another perch to reach one.
I would guess they fledged not much more that a week-10 da ago. They could and did fly, and didn’t just sit waiting for the adult. This seems very late but I have not yet checked to see what the last nesting dates are in NYS. Summer isn’t over til the last fledgling flies???
