Coming up the driveway (Whitted/Snyder Hill Rds) a short while ago my attention was caught by a flock of some 70 waxwings perched at the edge of the woods. As I got closer they all took off and flew overhead. One of them was noticeably larger. They stopped again in a hedgerow of pines, and I was able to get a good look at the Bohemian Waxwing among them. Larger bird. Rufous under tail coverts. And a noticeably rufous forehead. I took a couple of diagnostic photos before the flock took off to the southeast.
