1620 hrs, 3 March 2012 8th Conc and 115 Hwy Orono, ON A cloud of approx 125 Bohemian Waxwings decended upon the bushes in my backyard and feasted on berries. The flock spooked three times, first re-landing in the bushes, and then leaving in a north-easterly direction. They returned 2 minutes later to finish off the berries like a bunch of piranha. The sound of that many birds vocalizing was like a loud bunch of spring frogs or crickets!
Photos and video taken. I can't guarantee a re-sighting, but here are the directions... >From the 401, take the 35/115 north toward Peterborough, 10 or 12 km to the >8th Concession at the Boatland RV dealership. Birds were east on the >concession road approx 400m, before you get to Cooney. Cheers! Keith and Bethany Linton Orono, ON.
