I don’t see waxwings and Bobolinks in the same flocks very often and certainly never thought they looked similar. But on Wednesday John Holden and I found just that sort of flock feeding off the perimeter fence of the Dennison sewage ponds—about a dozen waxwings and at least three Bobolinks. The birds appeared to be feeding on grasshoppers in the freshly cut grass. I did not see the bobolinks at first, as, at first glance, they appeared yellow-bellied, just like the waxwings and were about the same size too.

I also banded my first migrant of the fall yesterday—a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota daner...@gmail.com http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet...Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ....”—H.
