Yes, a Cedar Waxwing came to our house on Christmas night. My wfie found this fellow wandering in a daze along a road south of town. Next to him was a companion Waxwing, turned to pulp after being run over. It was unclear whether this bird was injured or simply inebriated. Today (Boxing Day) visitng Waxwing seemed recovered but we were unsure if his wings were in good shape so we transported him to Wildlife Images where they can let him fly about (if he can) a large pen before deciding whether he can be releaed.
