     The CEDAR WAXWING (Bombycilla cedrorum) is 
     
     often seen and heard at this time of year on 
     
     Prince Edward Island. In this drawing, the male 
     
     is on the left and the female is on the right. 
     
     The colours on the cedar waxwing are both soft 
     
     and striking and make it a personal favourite 
     
     of many birdwatchers.
