I don't know what the statewide population of Cedar Waxwings is, but a sizeable 
chunk of it is currently annihilating some berry-laden trees at MTSU as I type 
this. I estimated about 500 individuals spread out among five trees. At one 
point, almost the entire flock descended on one particular tree, and for a few 
seconds, all you could see was a seething whirlwind of waxwings where there had 
once been greenery. (I think it's a holly tree, but in my excitement, I didn't 
even think to notice.)
