Just a quick note to say the huge flock of Bohemian Waxwings is still just
outside the town of Methow, flaunting their red undertails, waxy tail- and
wing- tips glinting in the sun. A lifer for me at the end of a blissful
weekend of skiing, Ahh! If only all long weekends could be so fine!

Today I came across a large flock of Bohemian Waxwings
in the town of Methow (Okanogan County, route 153
between Pateros and Twisp). I'd guess that there were
at least 300 of them, but it could have been
considerably more. It was hard to estimate numbers,
as they were foraging widely on the west end of town
along both sides of the river, on the brush hillsides
south of route 153, and in the trees in between.
