Cedar Waxwing

This Cedar Waxwing fed on Crab Apples at the University of Minnesota Landscpe Arboretum on 13 October 2018.  The somewhat streaked, ragged flank feathers indicate that this bird is immature, hatched this year. The extensively black chin is a sign that this bird is a male. Females are much less extensively black below the bill. This individual was in the company of a large flock of Cedar Waxwings plus a few American Robins.
