We noticed a flock of 25 - 30 in our back yard last Sunday morning. They stayed for a couple of days, eating our Mahonia berries, and getting in our bird bath. We have been enjoying their visit about this time every year since 2007. This year, I noticed a couple of Bohemian Waxwings in the flock. I took several pics, but could not pick out the Bohemians. Beautiiful is right!
Yeah this was only the 3rd time I've seen them since I was a kid. They have been stopping in our yard latley about 7 pm. They stay for a min or two then gone.
