This winter there are lots of Bohemian Waxwings down from Canada, but even though I had seen quite a few of these birds, my favorite waxwing location was still striking out. This afternoon that situation changed! If you want to see Bohemian Waxwings, look for fruit trees near heavy forest, and you will find waxwings. It is always better to find locations with lots of fruit trees, and not just one or two Mountain Ash or Pygmy Crabapple trees. Once both the waxwings and pine grosbeaks find the fruit, they will hang out for a long time in the area. This afternoon I saw over 250 Bohemian Waxwings, and I know their numbers will only increase.
so beautiful!
Hi Rich, They have been on my bucket list for a very long time. I hope to come yet this winter.

I love these beauties who look as though they’re dressed in fine silk.
