Now perched up in trees over intersection of Brown Rd and Thorn wood, north

As of about 10 minutes ago, these birds flew off over the woods along the
powerlines/parallel to route 13. But they seem to like that spot, so it's
worth checking every so often.

Other birds of note in that spot include singing PURPLE FINCH and FIELD
SPARROW, along with several Phoebes.

[cayugabirds-l] anyone still interested in Bohemian Waxwings? (90 in Sapsucker Woods this morning)

[Wesley M. Hochachka]

Hi all,

   I've been away for the last while, and so I'm not sure if people have had 
their fill chasing BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, but at about 8 AM this morning I saw a 
flock of 90 perched in the trees a bit to the west of the white barn (Kip's 
Barn) in Sapsucker Woods.  As far as I could tell with my binoculars, there was 
not a single Cedar Waxwing with the group.  The last that I saw, the birds were 
flying down into some shrubs along or near the power line cut.  They were 
easily audible from the north part of the Wilson Trail: I was hearing them well 
before I came to a location where I could see them.

   These birds were something of a curse-breaker for me: the first Bohemian 
Waxwings that I've seen in New York (after having seen them in a surprising 
number of other places over the time that I've lived in Ithaca, including in 
two other countries in the last 3 weeks).
