In my first post earlier today I neglected to mention I found the waxwing in Seattle's Magnuson Park.

Here's the rest of my first post:

I found the Bohemian at 9:15 AM at the west end of the tennis courts about 50
feet from the nearby parking lot. It was with a bunch of Cedar Waxwings and
Robins eating berries. It was not only larger than the Cedars but was a lot
plumper - it was pumping down the berries as fast as it could.


It was a long, brutal search. I had to walk a full 50 feet from the parking lot
and had to spend a whole minute looking for it. I was pretty ticked off that it
couldn't have just hung out in the bushes closest to the parking lot so I
wouldn't have had to get out of my car. But in this rough pastime we have
chosen, I guess you just gotta toughen up.
