Hi all, I've been away for the last while, and so I'm not sure if people have had their fill chasing BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, but at about 8 AM this morning I saw a flock of 90 perched in the trees a bit to the west of the white barn (Kip's Barn) in Sapsucker Woods. As far as I could tell with my binoculars, there was not a single Cedar Waxwing with the group. The last that I saw, the birds were flying down into some shrubs along or near the power line cut. They were easily audible from the north part of the Wilson Trail: I was hearing them well before I came to a location where I could see them.
These birds were something of a curse-breaker for me: the first Bohemian Waxwings that I've seen in New York (after having seen them in a surprising number of other places over the time that I've lived in Ithaca, including in two other countries in the last 3 weeks).
