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. https://ebird.org/checklist/S126390528 Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
