To add to the recent spate of BOWA sightings, I just picked at least one, more likely two, Bohemian Waxwings out of a flock of 40-50 Cedar Waxwings in Seattle?s Seward Park.

The flock was flycatching from atop a tall fir on the east side of the amphitheater clearing. There is a steady food supply nearby, in the form of a clump of fruit-laden madrones along the loop road just south of there (near the stage.) Feasting on the berries were an estimated 75 robins, several Varied Thrushes, and a pair of Band-tailed Pigeons. There have also been two Hermit Thrushes in that vicinity, but the excitement of BOWA made me forget to look for them?
