Thanks to those that responded on the Bohemian Waxwing. I will give it another try (hopefully tomorrow).

As for the Red-tailed Hawk, I'd be interested to get some comments from someone that is familiar with this species. Specifically, does the heavy orange color indicate something special? Perhaps that it's a juvenile or full-grown adult? I have photographed many Red-tails of late, but have not seen this type of marking yet.

I visited Magnuson Park in search of the Bohemian Waxwing today at noon, but was unable to locate it. I searched most of the park including the area around the tennis courts, the soccer field, the playground, and part of the off-leash dog area with no luck. If anyone is able to locate it, please let me know. While there, I photographed a Red-tailed Hawk perched in a tree near the off-leash dog area parking lot (the tree was located on the opposite side of a fence with barbed wire near the top with signs saying 'U.S. Property'.) This hawk was interesting as it's front side was heavily orange colored, although when it took flight, I could see the red tail very clearly. I will try to post a photograph later for those interested. I also saw a Merlin fly over the soccer field, but was not able to see if it landed. Raymondrayshome1 at hotmail.com
