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 7:28 PM Post #4676121 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 7:59 PM Post #4676218 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 9:31 PM Post #4676555 How lucky your are...how jealous am I!! khyro Ottawa, ON March 18, 2008 10:31 AM Post #4678186 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 3:08 PM Post #4910285 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 7:57 AM Post #4913376 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
