John Haas mentioned this on his blog, but I kind of think that BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS are worthy of their own headline. People going for the finch a few days from now may wonder where they saw it mentioned, so it ought to be apparent on this list. A flock of 40 or so were found by Jeff Ritter, Karlo Mirth, and I across the street from the home where the finch is being seen. They were in a row of trees out in the field for about 5 minutes. They were seen flying south, perhaps toward the Sugar River, although I believe the number there was probably no more than 15. The birds in this area, where the river parallels and then crosses under route 12D (maybe a mile plus south of the finch spot), stayed for a while.
