Sally, that's so cool that you are seeing Cedar Waxwings! I recollect that at certain times
Waxwings travel in flocks and that they are drawn to a possible food source (berries) by other birds feeding there. This link gives extensive accounts of Cedar Waxwing behavior.

Robins must be happy with earthworms so close to the surface with all our on again off again weather. I don't have a formal bird bath but when my Recycle bins are upside down rain water collects in the base and birds have started using that to bathe.
I feel the halo info on excluding english house sparrows from feeders and nest boxes is invaluable for any of us who are so lucky to have blue birds around.
Are English House Sparrows the only little brown birds that have that black bib?
Am starting to recognize the Redbellied Woodpecker arrival announcement from that of the Blue Jays. Northern Flicker seems to fill its bill with many seeds, cracked corn or peanut pieces and then fly off to eat them elsewhere.
