As the compiler of the 1987 Boulder CBC, I can confirm that I ran out of
fingers.

Hi Jared and COBirders
I grew up in Boulder in the late 1950s and 1960s. Bohemian Waxwings were one of
the big reasons I became interested in birds. My parent's house was on 43rd St.
(my mom still lives there) and it had a large picture window with berry
producing juniper bushes outside. I
Ah - I see Bill Schmoker already commented! What I can say is that we were
astounded that day that BOWAs outnumbered geese on the CBC!

The Boulder CBC once held the annual Christmas Bird Count’s all time
highest record for bohemian waxwings in the continental United States, *11,284
individuals seen in one day in 1987! Yes that's 11 thousand! *

I downloaded and compiled all the eBird accepted Bohemian Waxwing
checklists for the Denver Metro area (Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas,
Jefferson, Broomfield). Hugh Kingery suggested a definition of an irruption

2 weeks.
Good morning,
Thank you all for sharing this exciting and interesting Bohemian Waxwing
history.
How do we get an estimate on how many Bohemian Waxwings are here in
Colorado during this 2022-2023 Winter?
Many people are reporting the same flocks.
500 here… 800 there… over 1000 in another spot.
