EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) gracefully perches on a branch, its vibrant yellow and rust-colored wings spread out in a stunning display of feathery artistry. The bird's distinctive crest, reminiscent of a wax seal, adds an air of regality to its appearance. Its beak is filled with plump, juicy Serviceberries (Amelanchier canadensis), a favorite food source for the Cedar Waxwing during the spring and summer months. The serene setting of this image transports us to the picturesque landscapes of Marion County, Illinois, where the Serviceberry shrubs thrive. The lush greenery and the soft, silky petals of the Serviceberries create a beautiful backdrop for the bird's foraging feast. The natural colors and textures of the scene are further accentuated by the warm, natural light filtering through the foliage, casting dappled shadows on the ground below. Cedar Waxwings are known for their omnivorous diet, which includes a variety of fruits, berries, and insects. Serviceberries are a crucial food source for these birds during their breeding season, providing them with the essential nutrients they need to build strong nests and raise their young. The birds' ability to coordinate their foraging efforts, often flying in flocks to feed on abundant food sources, is a testament to their social nature and intelligence. This photograph, captured by the skilled lens of Danita Delimont, offers a glimpse into the intricate relationship between the Cedar Waxwing and its environment. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the importance of preserving habitats that support the diverse array of wildlife that call it home.
