I also saw a large flock of Cedar Waxwings exhibiting the same behavior - hanging out in a stand of pines that were diving in small groups to sip water from the edge of a small stream on my property in the Morgan Creek area of Chapel Hill. I wondered if Waxwings have a special liking for running water (more than other birds). Paula Chapel Hill, NC
