[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings- They're Back!

[Noah Brinkman]

On my way to scope some waterfowl at Stagecoach Reservoir (Routt Co.) this 
morning, I encountered a single waxwing that flew across the road as I 
drove by. I found a safe place to park and discovered a large flock of 
mixed waxwings with ~75 individuals. It was pretty evenly distributed, with 
an estimated 40 Bohemians and 35 Cedars. According to eBird data, this is 
one of only two BOWA observations this season in Colorado. I was able to 
spend some time with this flock and watched as they flew back and forth 
between a few Hawthornes and Aspen. It was a veritable frenzy as these 
birds gorged themselves on Hawthorne berries. This was easily my favorite 
avian encounter in months! 

eBird checklist with photos: https://ebird.org/checklist/S155969982

Perhaps this flock is an indication of the winter to come. Last year while 
the Front Range was enjoying the irruption of BOWA, Routt experienced a 
"drought". I am only aware of one flock that was seen in Routt, in early 
March. In a typical year, I will see them around three or four times 
(almost always in massive flocks). Maybe my observation today is an 
indication of a more normal year for waxwings? Of course, this is pure 
speculation and only time will tell...

Happy Birding!
Noah Brinkman

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings

[Paula Hansley]

They are in trees in my area and even on the sidewalks on Lois Way this
morning according to one birder who is driving around the area looking at
them.

There are at least 150, probably more.

When it started raining harder, they disappeared into some junipers. Now
that the rain is lighter, they in most of the trees that I can see

Listen for their soft calls.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Louisville

[Paula Hansley]

At least 200 Bohemian Waxwings were sitting in the top of a neighbor’s
cottonwood tree until 5 minutes ago. I heard them as I went out to get my
paper. They were stretching in the morning sun.

I live near the Police Station.

This may be as an underestimate!

They flew low north towards Via Appia and Tyler Streets.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Louisville

[Paula Hansley]

About a dozen Bohemian Waxwings were sitting in my neighbors’ cottonwood
tree at 6:00 pm today!

I recognized them by their calls. They flew to the east, towards Warembourg

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, NW of Deckers, near Wellington Lake

[joe...@betterbirdwatching.com]

Bohemian Waxwings, NW of Deckers, near Wellington Lake

While exploring a new trail, Rolling Creek, about a mile from trailhead, 
strayed from the trail about 100 yards to get a better pic of the Castle 
formation and slopped into a large flock of Bohemian Waxwings, first heard 
the vocal flock of at least 50 in a Ponderosa Pine, could have been a lot 
more with all the calling in surrounding trees, maybe 100. Nice bonus as 
it's been I think a couple decades since I have observed this species.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings - Arapahoe

[Jared Del Rosso]

A Bohemian Waxwing flock of at least 50 birds has spent at least the past 
90 minutes in my neighborhood in Centennial (Arapahoe), just north of 
Arapahoe Rd and University Ave. I first heard the birds vocalizing around 
3:00 PM from a cottonwood at the edge of my neighbors' yard, visible from 
my yard. They flew off, but appear to have just moved a yard or two over, 
as I'm still hearing them.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Louisville, Boulder County

[Gary & Sharon]

Around 3:30 PM today I was at the mailbox and noticed a large flock of birds 
fly over. They were the right size for Waxwings. So I rushed back to the house 
and told my husband that we needed to take a drive in the neighborhood to the 
north of our house (the heck with the groceries we had just taken into the 
house but hadn’t put away). In just a few minutes we found about 100 Bohemian 
Waxwings in a couple of tall cottonwood trees. They were in the area of 
Centennial Drive and Evans Circle. Anyway, we were very happy to finally have 
them fly over our house while I was out getting mail (having driven all around 
Louisville for an hour on Tuesday looking for them to no avail). Also I new 
yard bird. I count fly overs.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings - Hudson Gardens

[Gregg Goodrich]

We just had 100-150 Bohemian Waxwings at Hudson Gardens. Got photos and
recordings. They flew in a big group SE after about 20 minutes of viewing.
There is a nice water feature just west of the parking lot they were
drinking from. I suspect they will be back.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings - Denver Wellshire Golf Course

[Gregg Goodrich]

We tried for the Bohemian Waxings this morning but no luck at the Mamie
Eisenhower Park. Then driving by the Wellshire Golf Course we noticed a
large flock on the SW side of the course from Hampden. We parked on the NW
side of the course in the residential area. This flock is likely the same
one from just east of the Mamie Eisenhower Park.

I got a photo of the flock in flight. Printed the photo. Blocked it into 70
blocks. Counted the birds in each block. 823! My photo of my block count is
on the list. I looked at a lot of the birds in the trees before they flew
and could find only one Cedar Waxwing.

My first thought was 400-500. But wanted to find out exactly how many. Was
way to conservative on my initial estimate. Wonder if all these waxwings
will stick with this storm coming in.

Here is my list. No photographer photos, but group photos in trees, on the
snow and in flight.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, WRG

[Paula Hansley]

There is a large  flock of waxwings with at least 75 Bohemian Waxwings
about 150 m west of the Prospect Park bridge over Clear Creek now!  Most
vocalizations I heard were from Bohemians.

Park at Prospect Park parking lot off of 44th Ave. They are along the trail
which goes along the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt in Jefferson County.

An amazing sight! I’ve never seen so many Bohemian Waxwings at one time.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings - West Arapahoe

[Jared Del Rosso]

This morning, there were at least two large flocks of Bohemian Waxwings in 
west Arapahoe County. Birders along the Big Dry Creek in Centennial 
reported one, of about 200, moving along the Creek and landscaping trees in 
the area.

I had the good luck to encounter another, along the High Line Canal Trail 
in Cherry Hills village. The flock (of roughly 100) was north of Colorado 
and Three Ponds Park, feeding on Buckthorn with Robins, a few Cedar 
Waxwings, and others. I watched them for roughly fifteen minutes before 
they flew off as a single flock, roughly in the direction of Kent Denver 
School (but who knows). 

For those interested, I posted some photos and a write up about the 
waxwings along the canal on my blog

[cobirds] Bohemian waxwings, Jefferson county

['Deborah Carstensen' via Colorado Birds]

   There were several Bohemian waxwings, mixed in with cedar waxwings, hanging 
out at the top of tall cotton woods in the wheat Ridge Greenbelt area. I 
recognize them by their grayIsh abdomen, rusty under-tail coverts, and trill 
like high-pitched call.

If you go to the main entrance, park in the main parking area and cross the 
bridge that is right near the  parking area, then go down a side trail to a 
chain-link fence. There are a lot of robins there, eating small, blackish 
berries. The wax wings tended to hang out at the top of the trees nearby, often 
displaying fly catching behavior. . 
 WHEW! I was afraid I would end up missing them during their stay here.

[cobirds] Bohemian waxwings in or near Gold Hill

[Elena Holly Klaver]

A friend sent me a video today of a smallish flock of about 8 Bohemian waxwings 
in or near Gold Hill, at about 8,500'.  I couldn’t actually see from the video 
to distinguish them from cedars, but the audio was very clear, and clearly 
Bohemians.  Having just had a large (81) flock of them on the Loveland CBC, the 
sound was fresh in my mind.  Nice to see them in Gold Hill, it makes one wonder 
if this is part of the same flock moving around, or if there are just a lot 
more this year scattered in many places.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings - Arapahoe

[Jared Del Rosso]

On January 1, a sharp-eyed participant in the urban Denver CBC spotted a 
Bohemian Waxwing amid a large flock of Cedars along the High Line Canal in 
Cherry Hills Village in Arapahoe County. (Apologies to that person -- I 
don't have a list of participants and so can't credit them.) This allowed 
all 15 of us participating in the count to get looks at the bird, a lifer 
for many on the trip.

I returned to the Canal in Cherry Hills Village today on a walking break. 
There are many, many waxwings feeding on buckthorn (and, no doubt, helping 
reseed it). I encountered a Bohemian among them, south of Quincy Ave, along 
the Canal near Blackmer Hall of Kent Denver School. 

I had only brief views of the Bohemian, before losing it among the brush 
and Cedars. Not only are waxwing moving along the canal, from spot to spot, 
they're also incredibly active wherever they stop. They work the ground 
(for water) to the canopy of cottonwoods (for sun and melting snow, it 
seems). So birders who hope to find the Bohemian would be well-served 
bringing either several other birders with them, the better to check all 
the waxwings, or packing all the patience and, better yet, dumb luck they 
can find.

I enjoyed watching the Cedar Waxwings drinking from melting snow, off 
cottonwood and pine branches. At one point, I saw one waxwing offer either 
food (amid the pines -- insects?) or water (in the form of melting snow) to 
another. It seems late for a parent to tend to young. It seems early for 
one of a pair to tend to the other. I skimmed *Birds of the World*, but 
didn't see anything about this sort of behavior in winter. (Admittedly, I 
didn't read the entry exhaustively.) Has anyone else noticed this? No 
pictures, as the birds were in the shadows of pines.

There is an incredible amount of buckthorn spread out along the Canal, but 
there do seem to be fewer drupes on the plants than on January 1. The whole 
portion of Canal -- from Colorado to the edge of Kent Denver -- is worth 
investigating. (Cassin's Finches have also been found on this portion of 
trail lately.) So too is the riparian line that emerges from the southern 
edge of Blackmer Lake. In years past, starlings, waxwings, robins, and 
sparrows (in impressive numbers) visited the buckthorn there. 

At home, in Centennial, a White-throated Sparrow continues in my yard. An 
American Tree Sparrow has also visited, along with two White-crowned 
Sparrows, several Spotted Towhees, and many juncos.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings continue - El Paso, County

[Kip Miller]

Bohemian Waxwings have been showing nicely and enjoyed by many the past two 
days in Colorado Springs since their discovery by Steve Getty along South 
Cheyenne Canyon Road near the Starsmore Discovery Center.  At least 40 were 
present this afternoon, along with a few Cedar Waxwings.

I watched them for over an hour late in late afternoon today and would 
guess they'll stick around as long as the buckthorn berries they've been 
feeding on remain present. (There were still many berries this afternoon.)  

 GPS coordinates to the location: 38.7881988,-104.8673876

Good birding,

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings Montrose, CO

[ridgwaybrdr]

This morning during our Black Canyon Audubon Society "First Tuesday" field
trip we found four Bohemian Waxwings at Cerise Park along the Uncompahgre
River in Montrose.  They were "lifers" for many of us.  Here is my eBird
checklist with photos:  eBird Checklist - 3 Jan 2023 - Cerise Regional Park
- 22 species (+1 other taxa)

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings at Ken Caryl, JeffCo

[David Suddjian]

A flock of about 20 Bohemian Waxwings just flew over my home at Ken Caryl
Valley, heading off southwards as they left the view. It was wonderful to
hear their calls. These were my first in the area.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings

[Paula Hansley]

I have a 35' tall Washington Hawthorne tree with lots of ripe red berries
on it now.  A few Cedar Waxwings have stopped by in the last week.  Even a
bushtit flock has been eating the berries in preference to suet.

I'll listen and watch for Bohemian waxwings,

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Clear Creek Co.

[gwalbek]

I took the family snowshoeing up to Guanella Pass, from the road closure to the 
top of the pass.  About half way up we encountered 14 Bohemian Waxwings working 
through the conifers at about 11,300 feet.  Also of interest was a Turkey 
Vulture high above the pass and several Pine Grosbeaks.  We did not find any 
ptarmigan.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Hoosier Pass

[Alan Versaw]

Saw roughly 25 (give or take 5) Bohemian Waxwings late Sunday afternoon, 
3/25, driving south toward the summit of Hoosier Pass. Perching at tops of 
trees--not terribly close since the trees were very high. I believe there 
are three major hairpins on Colorado 9 above where I saw the birds. Point 
was plotted accurately on eBird.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings in Gilpin County

[William H Kaempfer]

I was hoping for Tree Swallows near Rollinsville or an Osprey at the 
traditional nest site at Los Lagos at the Boulder/Gilpin county line on CO 119. 
 That didn't happen, so maybe an early Fox Sparrow?  I stopped at my favorite 
FOSP spot in Gilpin just east of Tolland on the Rollins Pass Road.  No sparrows 
were around, but there was something perched at the very top of a fir on the 
south side of the road-a gray, crested bird.  Pulling out my scope confirmed 
Bohemian Waxwing, and actually at least eight, each at the top of their own 
tree.

They were silent, or inaudible to my ears, and the disappeared just like that.  
But it was sure nice to see some-my first in several years.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Larimer County

[marimammoser]

Today at 10:45, I discovered 6 Bohemian Waxwings along the entrance road to 
Bobcat Ridge Natural Area southwest of Masonville. They were approximately 
75-80 yards (half way between county road and the castle) from the main 
county road. They were frequenting the tops of the budding trees along the 
creek. When I left, there were about 8 people with scopes and cameras 
looking at them.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Simpson Ponds SWA, Larimer County

[melgoff]

Hi, Cobirders. 



For what seems like the thousandth time we left home this morning to chase the 
mythical Bohemian Waxwing. This time we headed north to Loveland and the 
Simpson Ponds SWA. 



After parking and speaking to two folks who just saw them before they flew 
off we started walking up the highway toward the northeast corner of the 
reserve. With high hopes and low expectations we trudged along spotting 
hundreds of American Robins. Suddenly Jeanne says Oh, Mel, Mel, Mel, Mel, 
Mel 



There just in front of us at eye level in an olive tree sat an honest to 
goodness BOWA. We were STUNNED. They really do exist! Over the course of the 
next hour or so, large groups flew into the tall trees along the north border 
of the SWA. 



We even got to meet Connie Kogler who we first met when we saw the Streak 
-backed Oriole at her house a few years ago. She has now been there for two of 
our life birds. Maybe we should hire her as a guide. 



Thanks to all who encouraged us to not give up the quest. It was long in 
coming, but what a beautiful sight on a sunny morning.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, 400+, Simpson Ponds, Larimer NOTICE

[Connie Kogler]

Hi folks, 

The Bohemians along with Cedar Waxwings are back in full force today. There are 
400+ that split off in smaller flocks and come back to the north and east sides 
of the north pond.

Please note!! This is a busy road, do NOT park along side of the road or on 
private property, but park in the SWA parking lot. Several people have gone on 
to the private property directly north of the SWA and parked and walked on 
their property. DO NOT DO THIS or I won't be posting any more sightings to this 
area.  Some are also dangerously parking along side of the road - half into the 
very busy roadway making travel unsafe. 

If you do park illegally, and I am around I will take your plate number and 
report you. Don't wanna be the bird parking cop, but I don't want to make the 
neighbors mad either. Behave yourselves!

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Barrett Road, El Paso County

[Debbie Barnes]

I went out today in hopes that the bad weather would have the Bohemian 
Waxwings would show up where they had been see before.  We visited Cala 
Roja, lots of American Robins, several Western Bluebirds, Western 
Scrub-Jay, and Townsends Solitaires.  Spring is in the air!  The Robins 
were singing up a storm despite the wind and blowing snow.  Then we moved 
down to Barrett Road about a 1/2 mile down the road in a dip where come 
juniper trees are next to the road, we saw many American Robins, a few 
Cedar Waxwings came in to eat Juniper Berries but were chased off by a 
jealous Townsends Solitaire.
Later I saw a flock of about 40 Waxwings in the top of tree about 1000 feet 
off the road.  I took some pictures but dismissed them as Cedar Waxwings 
with a Evening Grosbeak for company. After downloading my pictures this 
evening I saw that I had Bohemian Waxwings!  Happy life bird to me!

Re: [cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings Fremont Co. 3/7

[Brandon K. Percival]

The three Bohemian Waxwings didn't stick around very long, they flew off to the 
west shortly after my cobirds post at 728am.  Hopefully when it gets warmer 
today, the birds will come back and look fly catch for insects, like they were 
doing yesterday.  Before I left the Holcim Wetlands this morning, I saw an 
adult Northern Shrike, perhaps the last one I'll see until the fall.  Thanks 
again to SeEtta Moss for reporting these waxwings, I think these are the first 
ones we've had in the Pueblo Area this winter/early spring.  Of course, the 
ones along Hwy 115, in southern El Paso County, aren't far from Fremont County, 
so I'm guessing they might be also in this area of Fremont County too.

 
Yesterday, in the afternoon (3/6), I saw a Northern Goshawk flying around the 
North Shore Marina area of Pueblo Reservoir.  Seems like March is good time to 
see goshawks on the plains.

Good birding,

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings found again at Holcim Wetlands this afternoon

[SeEtta Moss]

I had a meeting tonight in Pueblo so left a little early and stopped by
Holcim Wetlands on the way to see if the Bohemian Waxwings might be back
sallying after aerial insects on this very warm afternoon (72 F).  I did
not find any waxwings in the trees or shrubs along the Arkansas River where
I found them yesterday and only a couple of robins.  I continued walking
the trail around the wetland pond until I found a number of robins just off
the trail west of the wetland pond.  I could hear robins calling and likely
a Spotted Towhee but no waxwing calls but I searched each bird movement
until I spotted a waxwing then another then another.  They were feeding,
and doing so quietly, in the Russian Olive trees along with the robins.  I
finally located 2 Bohemian and 2 Cedar Waxwings eating Russian Olive fruit
about 50 feet off the trail.  BTW, I forget to note that yesterday when I
found the flock of about 12 that were fly-catching they were not calling
then either.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings - Gunbarrell, Boulder Co.

[Luis (Beto) Matheus]

I had almost given up after my last message, but one more drive through 
Gunbarrell turned up at least 8 Bohemians along White Rock Cir., just east of 
the tennis court.

The Bohemians , robins, house finches and chickadees were eating from a 
crabapple sandwiched between the building to the east and the tennis court 
fence. They'd fly up to the pines north of the street to rest.
Another hard worked Lifer!

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Lafayette

[Jeff Romain]

Hi all,

While I was out on a ride on the bicycle during this gorgeous day, I spotted 
two Bohemian Waxwings near Waneka Lake, where High Country Dr. intersects with 
Waneka Lake Dr.  The pair seemed completely free of concern regarding my 
presence, as I watched them for a solid fifteen minutes flycatching and 
flitting from one ash tree to the next.

Cheers,
Jeff Romain

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings/Fort Collins

[The Nunn Guy]

Just saw and heard flock of 33+ Bohemian Waxwings upon returning from
lunch at my Forest Service office on Prospect Rd/College Ave (just
west of).  Heard them calling in tree on West Lake Ave (CSU Campus)
walked over there to look at them; after few minutes they flew SE.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Boulder

[Robert Martinez]

Went looking for the Waxwings yesterday with Rob King from Longmont, went 
to Crane Hollow road with no luck so we went over to
Gunbarrell, the first office park off 63rd and Longbow was a cottonwood 
tree with about 60-70 Bohemian Waxwings, drove a half block
west on Longbow to the Juniper bush at the next driveway and they all flew 
and starting eating, got real close-up views of all the field 
marks and great photos

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings Harris's Sparrows, Boulder County

[Nathan Pieplow]

About 85 Bohemian Waxwings were on the SW corner of Spine and Orchard Creek
Lane in Gunbarrel just now (11:30 AM).  No Cedars with them.  Cole Wild
told me there were up to 500 Bohemians in this neighborhood yesterday.

Also, the 5 Harris's Sparrows originally reported by Bryan Guarente
continue at the house along Crane Hollow Road southwest of Hygiene.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Boulder County

[Michael King]

Today at 12:30 pm, Diana King and I found the previously reported large flock 
of Bohemian Waxwings in Niwot (thanks to general information from John 
Vanderpoel).  they were feeding on two berry trees and often coming down to 
drink melting water on a driveway at 7152 Gold Nugget Drive, Niwot.  The flock 
was approximately 200 in number.

The GPS location and map below make it easier to find:

Latitude: N40° 06' 17.1
Longitude: W105° 08' 48.2
Altitude: 5112'

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Boulder

[Nathan Pieplow]

At 10:30 this morning a large flock of apparent Bohemian Waxwings (about
400 birds) flew over the road in front of my car.  My looks were brief but
the lighting was excellent, and I was pretty sure of the ID, given the size
of the birds (large for waxwings) and their multicolored, dark-vented
look.  The birds looked pretty uniform in coloration but I can't swear
there weren't some Cedars mixed in.  They were headed north over
Independence Road right at Hayden Lake.  This is just east of the
intersection of Foothills Parkway and the Diagonal Highway, and just
northwest of the airport.  It's only a few blocks from where Brian Guarente
reported probable Bohemians the other day.  It was also very close to the
Cottonwood Trailhead, so if you're interested in looking for these birds, I
suspect your best bet is to park at the trailhead and head north along the
Cottonwood Trail (map:
http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=2998Itemid=1035
).

Best of luck,

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings--Longmont

[markchavez]

Today, Daren O'Brien and I went to Longmont in search of Bohemian Waxwings.  
After searching the neighborhood around Mcintosh Lake we were rewarded with a 
nice flock of Cedar and Bohemian Waxwings.  Photos of these beautiful birds can 
be seen in the rare and uncommon 2013 gallery below:

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings and other sightings, Longmont, Boulder County

[Todd Deininger]

After Brian G alerted me to an ebird report yesterday, I headed to McIntosh
lake to have a look around.  The intersection of Drake and Lakeshore had
trees full of American Robins and one lone Cedar Waxwing.

Driving south on Drake a flock of *Bohemian Waxwings *flew from the
direction of the lake and headed southeast through the neighborhood.  This
was at 4:15.

Also, north of the lake a *Prairie Falcon *was perched on the tall power
pole.

I my yard, my lone *Mourning Dove* that has been hanging around all winter
has been joined by two others.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings in Boulder, Boulder County

[Bryan Guarente]

At 1:10 this afternoon, I heard something while biking that sounded like Cedar 
Waxwings, but it didn't sound right and I wasn't sure it was a bird at first 
since I was right next to the highway and not on my usual bike.  Heard it again 
at slower speed and stopped to find them.  A flock of 85 (or so) birds flew 
over me making a lower, huskier, distinctly un-Cedar Waxwing call.  Shape of 
the birds was good for waxwing.  Strongly triangular wings (isosceles right 
triangle), shortish squared-off tail, very Saab Gripen-like, but with a shorter 
nose and longer tail (and less afterburners).  Backlit during entire flight 
path when I saw them.  

Birds flew from east to west, from east of foothills parkway to west of the 
railroad tracks into Howard Hueston Park.  Would look for the birds there or in 
the neighborhood to the east of Foothills parkway if looking again.  There 
isn't good habitat for waxwings here near my office, it was just happenstance 
that I was under them as they flew by.

Here is the location that I saw the birds if you need more reference:

[cobirds] Bohemian waxwings - Fort Collins (LARIMER)

[John Shenot]

On my walk to work this morning at 8:15 I observed a large flock of
waxwings at Library Park in Old Town, probably 40-50, half flying over and
half perched high in a tree. Some if not all were BOWA based on call and
field marks on the only one close enough for me to see with naked eyes. Do
CEWA and BOWA mix?

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings-Long Pond Neighborhood/Larimer

[Rachel Hopper]

Hi COBirders,

 

There are about 25 Bohemian Waxwings hanging out with a group of Cedar
Waxwings in the Long Pond neighborhood, Larimer County. This morning they
were on Hillside Dr. at Belmont Dr. Here is a link to a map showing the
location: http://goo.gl/maps/C8wo3

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings, Delta County

[Jason Beason]

A nice surprise in the backyard this morning was a flock of 42 Bohemian
Waxwings! They stayed perched in the top of one of big cottonwoods for
about 30 min doing their buzzing high-pitched trill. Yard species #180 at
Rain Crow Farm! There are also 3 Bald Eagles perched near each other along
the North Fork this morning. Open water is tough to find with this cold
weather.

Good Birding!

Just had a big flock of Starling and Robin land in the trees on the ditch out 
behind my house.  I searched through the flock hoping for a Varied Thrush, but 
instead found two adult Bohemian Waxwings.  The white wingtips and rufous 
undertail coverts were obvious as I examined them for a couple minutes.  Life 
bird!  Probably difficult to refind, I am just southwest of 64th and Quaker in 
Arvada.
 
Have fun

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings--Lakewood-Green Mtn/Jeffco

[markchavez]

This morning at 8:30am, I was returning from dropping my daughter off at 
school. As I pulled into the driveway, I noticed two Waxwings at the top of my 
neighbors tree. When I got out of the car, I heard the trilled call of Bohemian 
Waxwings. I sprinted inside and grabbed the binoculars. When I got on the 
birds, I immediately noticed the reddish undertail coverts and lighter colored 
birds. While watching the birds, they flew east. I ran to the very birdy 
backyard hoping they had stopped at the water feature. While searching, a 
Sharppie flew in and ended the search as the birds scattered. I searched the 
neighborhood crabapples but came up empty!

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings--Boulder

[William H Kaempfer]

As I was leaving work this afternoon I had a flock of about a dozen Bohemian 
Waxwings fly overhead basically heading southeast along Broadway toward 
Baseline Road in Boulder on the CU campus.  I think this observation is right 
in line with Christian Nunes prediction of the possibility of far northern 
species in this weather (while not being quite as exciting as Great Gray Owl, 
Snowy Owl, Gyrfalcon or Pileated Woodpecker).  It is something else to stay 
alert for right now.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwings

[AHilf]

Several birders in the Steamboat Springs area have called/e-mailed to let  
me know about large flocks of Bohemian Waxwings.  Even up in Steamboat, its  
not the norm to have such large numbers of Bohemians --  perhaps  it  will 
also be a good year for them in the Denver-metropolitan area.  I  remember a 
a few years ago we had a so called invasion of Bohemians in the  region 
and just wanted to alert birders to look carefully at flocks of waxwings  
this winter -- especially during Christmas Bird Counts.
