Cedar Waxwing

I saw this Cedar Waxwing on the ground. I thought perhaps it was drunk. In spring Waxwings that eat fermented fruit become drunk. Though it sounds funny, this is often the time when these birds are most in danger. Predators and accidents happen when they eat to many of these berries.

After closer examination I saw that it's wing was hurt. We gathered it up in a plastic box and took it to WildCare in Noble OK. They rehabilitate injured native birds and wildlife. I hope they were able to help it.
