Multiple thousands of BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS were still in the vicinity of Military Road/Windmill Road/N. Schoolhouse Road near Robert Wehle State Park, Jefferson County, this morning (21 March 2012). Highest concentrations were along the entrance road to the state park off Old Schoolhouse Road and just to the south on Windmill Road. Several flocks of 500+ were seen at both locations, often with some Cedars mixed in. A few scattered Bohemian were seen in smaller, mostly Cedar flocks elsewhere along these roads, and American Robins were present at most places waxwings were as well. Other birds in the area included Fox Sparrow, Rusty Blackbird, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Eastern Phoebe, Purple Finch, Ruffed Grouse, Wild Turkey, Eastern Bluebird, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Brown Creeper, Red-shouldered Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, and Cooper's Hawk.
