It only took me 20 years to do it but I have finally added Bohemian Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) to my life list - # 398. It wasn't just one bird that I saw. There were over two dozen of them, silently watching me pass them by at Cold Creek Conservation Area. I am in the habit of stopping often to listen, turn about, and scan the treetops. There they were. Note the cinammon-coloured, under-tail coverts in the photo. It was the icing on the cake of a pleasant morning of wandering about several spots. Prior to the Bohemians, I had seen Wild Turkeys at Hammertown, a Red-tailed Hawk at Strange, and Horned Larks on Woodchopper's Lane and Strawberry Lane in the Holland Marsh.
