I live in Walnut Creek, California-about 30 miles East of San Francisco, and I saw a few Cedar Waxwings along our Canal Trail on January 4th of this year and December 10th of 2024, on a ligustrum lucidum (Glossy Privet) and on February 15th, 2017 and December 2nd 2016 on some red berries, maybe Toyon?. It is always Such a treat to see them because it's rare. I was lucky to capture a couple of photos of one with a berry between its beak before swallowing, and you could see the lump in its throat ;-)
