The feeder birds go on red alert when the waxwings are in town. The cardinals guard the feeders, the house finches don’t care, and the chickadees and gold finches are being bullied by the yellow rump warbler that shows up this time of year. The Ruby crowned kinglet is sneaking around as usual. The Carolina wrens don’t get up that early. The wax wings come in groups of five to fifty from all directions into the valley. Eventually they all gather together in one tree and then they all go off together. This takes about 45 minutes. After they leave, the feeder birds take a break. Guarding the feeders is exhausting work.

Interesting observations! Sounds like a story line. It's funny all the interactions that go on around feeders. I have seen pine siskins locked beak to beak fighting for feeder access. Just wondering, where are you? I haven't seen a waxwing around my area for a while.
