Cedar Waxwing Feeding Frenzy

I took these pictures last week of some cedar waxwings cleaning fruit off an unidentified tree in my backyard.


I planted this tree quite a few years ago but it's still quite short (only about 6 feet tall). I think it's some kind of a crabapple or cherry, but maybe someone reading this can make a positive ID based on these pictures of the leaves and the fruit.
The fruits are very tiny--not much larger than a blueberry or grape, but like my apple trees, this little tree was covered with fruit this year.

The Cedar Waxwings were loving this tree. There were both adults and juveniles.


You can see that many of the stems have been picked clean of the fruit.


It was fun to see the birds try to maneuver on the branches to reach the fruit. They really aren't very good clingers (especially the uncoordinated juveniles), so it was pretty comical to watch them twisting and stretching to try and grab a bite to eat.


The adult birds were much more dignified and adept at plucking the fruit off the stems.


The little tree is picked clean of fruit now, but there are still Cedar Waxwings hanging around in the yard. They have moved on to my bigger crabapple trees which are still covered with lots of fruit. I think it's going to be a pretty good winter for the fruit-eating birds in my yard.
