Banding records. — Since 1934 several thousand cedar waxwings 

 have been banded at Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif. Recoveries 

 of these birds have shown migration northward through California to 

 Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, and also some very erratic move- 

 ments. One bird banded in February was captured the following 

 winter near Redlands, Calif. Many birds banded in the Prairie 

 Provinces of Canada and the Upper Mississippi Valley have been 

 found the following winter in the Gulf States from Texas to Alabama. 

 The recoveries of seven birds banded in eastern Massachusetts show a 

 wide winter distribution : one was found in Texas ; three in Louisiana ; 

 and one each in North Carolina, G eorgia, and Alabama.
