CoBirders, Yes, 2013 seems to have been a good irruption year for Bohemian Waxwings (BOWA) too. I chased a huge flock being seen near Loveland at Simpson Ponds SWA in mid-March of that year. These were my eBird lifers (first time reported to eBird) though I had seen them almost 2 decades earlier in MT and in AK. I'm one of those birders that hasn't managed to find a huge flock this year. I've had a total of 6 in a mixed flock in junipers near Marston Lake a couple days ago after at least 6 visits to the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt. I keep looking...
