Found the answer online. Cedar Waxwings apparently love to eat blossoms and buds on apple and pear trees. I imagine that a large flock could do some serious damage in an orchard.I need some explanation here from the bird experts. Walking along a small wetland stream with a few apple trees in blossom next to the stream. There was a small flock of cedar waxwings in the trees and they appeared to be picking at the blossoms. Never observed this behavior before and I don't know why they were doing it. There are two birds circled in red in the image below and if you click for the full size version you will also see a lot of blossoms and petals in the stream below the birds. Only had the Canon EOS R with 35/2.8 Macro lens with me so couldn't get clear larger shot of the birds in action.
