Maybe of interest to this group: I've been to southern Vermont and western Mass this winter, and both times found flocks of bohemian waxwings less than 10 miles from the New York State border. There's also a report of a bird in a Rensselaer county yard from this afternoon. Might be worth a targeted fruit tree search in the taconics for folks hoping to see bohemians in rensselaer or columbia counties.
