Bohemian Waxwings Hyrum State Park 3/8/2005

[Richard Wood <rwoodphd at msn dot com>]

Hi all,

I just went out for a short walk and I got diverted.  I wound up in Hyrum 
State Park and I saw a group of Cedar Waxwings sitting in a tree near the 
lake.  I was hoping that one of them was a Bohemian, but it wasn't to be. 
I made my way up the road toward the picnic area on the lake, and on the 
way, I saw a Yellow-rumped Warbler, several Juncos, a feww Chickadees and 
a solitary Downy Woodpecker.  I also saw an American Goldfinch and a 
couple of Robins.  On the way back, I saw my group of three Waxwings, and 
I was able to check them all out.  This time, I DID see a single BOHEMIAN 
WAXWING.  Out of 5 waxwings, there was one BOHEMIAN.  This was the best 
bird I've found by myself in a long time.  I was so excited I went back 
home and got Jill, because a good bird isn't good if you can't share it 
with someone.  This was our first BOHEMIAN since we were in upstate New 
York in 2002.

Good birding,
Richard
