The Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) is native to North and Central America. Its geographical distribution spans parts of Canada, the United States, and northern Mexico. During breeding season, it is commonly found in southern Canada and the northern United States, while in winter, it migrates to the southern United States, Mexico, and even parts of Central America.

Cedar Waxwings inhabit open woodlands, orchards, and suburban areas with abundant berry-producing trees and shrubs. They prefer areas near water sources such as rivers, streams, or lakes. The climate in these areas can vary from temperate zones during breeding season to more subtropical conditions during winter.

Cedar Waxwings play a crucial role in their ecosystem by dispersing seeds. They primarily feed on fruits and berries, helping to spread the seeds of plants across various regions. During the breeding season, they may also consume protein-rich insects to aid in the growth of their young.
