| pelletory Marlton, NJ March 17, 2008 | I agree! Heres a page on them. [HYPERLINK@www.birds.cornell.edu] |
| Mrs_Ed Whiteside County, IL Zone 5a March 17, 2008 | wish there were HERE!!! |
| jasminesmom Blue Mountain, NY March 17, 2008 | how beautiful they are |
| khyro Ottawa, ON March 17, 2008 | Oh thanks everyone! You are right, sure do look like Bohemian Waxwing. I will keep my eye out for them to come back. |
| Mrs_Ed Whiteside County, IL Zone 5a March 17, 2008 | Cedar waxwings are similar, the main difference I always notice is the white on the wings. More pictures please when they come back!!! |
| Sugarplum1 Weatherford, TX March 17, 2008 | I am so jealous! I have never seen Bohemian Waxwings. I saw Cedar Waxwings last spring. I had never seen them before in my life, and was so excited. Knew I had seen something special. I saw them again this spring 1 time and was thrilled to get a chance to see them again. They just pass thru and then they are gone from our area, I guess. |
| dellrose Conway, MO Zone 5b March 17, 2008 | How lucky your are...how jealous am I!! |
| khyro Ottawa, ON March 18, 2008 | I am so excited. They were back again today! And in the tree with them was one of the cardinals and blue jays that come for their daily peanuts. However, when I grabbed my camera the batteries were dead. Too bad. They're recharging now in hopes of another appearance! |
| crimsontsavo Crossville, TN Zone 7a May 5, 2008 | I hope you dont have any fruit trees. The stripped thousands of cherries off our tree in less than 60 seconds. lol |
| khyro Ottawa, ON May 6, 2008 | If that is what attracts them, I wish I had fruit trees so they would come back. LOL. But seriuosly, I think it was crab apple trees that they were sitting in. This message was edited May 6, 2008 8:03 AM |
