Range (Northern parts of the northern) (IV)

Northern parts of the northern hemisphere; in North America south in winter, irregularly, to the northern United States; recorded from as far south as Kansas, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.

Nest, of twigs, roots, moss, etc., in trees. Eggs, similar in color to those of A. cedrorum, 92 x 65.

The distribution of this bird in the United States is not unlike that of the Evening Grosbeak. It is exceedingly rare and irregular in the Atlantic States, but occurs with some frequency in the northern Mississippi Valley. In notes and habits it is said to resemble its small cousin, the Cedar Waxwing. 619. Ampelis cedrorum (Vieill.). CEDAR WAXWING; CEDAR-BIRD;
