What physiological difference would account for Cedar Waxwings being 
killed by lighter blows or traumas than would be survivable by other 
bird species? Is there any literature on this subject? Wouldn't there
still be some evidence of trauma (e.g., bruising or subcutaneous 
blood clots or fractures)?
