Yesterday as I left Sioux City for Des Moines my vehicle would not allow me to turn south but instead forced me north to O'Brien County to 470th just east of Waterman. Waiting from me on the top of a cedar was a single Townsend's Solitaire. I briefly played a tape to try to entice it to change positions for a photo and a 2nd bird flew in. What a treat. Cedar Waxwings were all over in groups of 30-35 and low an behold in the group as a Bohemian. As I raised by camera they all suddenly flew--I swear all the birds know me and do this just to frustrate me. I watched them land in the deciduous trees down in the valley on the north side of the road. Yep, not one but two Bohemians--distance was 400 feet + but the photo clearly shows both of the Bohemians. What a great and pleasant day that was for me when my Malibu took control! Finished off the day by taking in a couple of band with Jay G. God Bless,
