Bohemian Waxwing

Description:

27 Bohemian Waxwings eating berries (grapes). 7-8 inches. A sleek, gray-brown, crested bird. Similar to the Cedar Waxwing, but larger, with conspicuous white wing patches and rusty (not white) undertail coverts. This handsome bird of the north woods is a rare winter visitor to the northeastern US. When it appears, often in large flocks - sometimes in 100 or more. They are erratic, and may suddenly appear will outside their normal range as this year as they have been cited across VT.

Habitat:

Open coniferous forests

Notes:

2nd time I have seen them this winter.
