Cedar Waxwings

Today was bright and clear in the park and the light was wonderful. Temperatures were in the mid-40's and there was a flock of very cooperative Cedar Waxwings in the Ramble. There were also four Woodcock in the Tupelo Meadow.

The Cedar Waxwings were feeding on fallen fruit from the Japanese Scholar Tree (saphora japonica.) While searching the Web I found a nice guide to the trees of Central Park: Database of Central Park Trees
