The Social Cedar Waxwing

From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Midwest Region:

Cedar waxwings are social birds that can be seen in flocks year-round. They sit in fruiting trees swallowing berries whole, or pluck them in mid-air with a brief fluttering hover. They also course over water for insects, flying like tubby, slightly clumsy swallows.
