Just the fellow to possibly answer this one, Dennis. Somebody asked me the
other day what the scientific name is for the waxy tips on waxwing
secondaries. I did a google search and apparently there is *no* jargon
coined for this particular feather bit. Please inform if otherwise. I think
it high time one was thought up if not. Maybe we could have a contest :))
