Re: [cobirds] And...they're at Greenlee Preserve & vicinity! (Bohemian Waxwings, Boulder Co., 1/28/23)

We saw these Waneka Lake area Bohemian Waxwings at about 2:30 today at Caria Dr & Cypress Circle when a huge flock landed in some trees in front of us while we were driving to the main Waneka Park entrance.  They stayed less than five minutes before taking off toward the south.  FINALLY we had good views of BOWAs!

Hey, all.

Got a call this morning from Hannah Floyd about a huge cloud of Bohemian waxwings, so rushed out to see them. (Apologies to the neighbors who saw the dude scampering about in his bathrobe and slippers; I'm sure it's all over NextDoor by now.)

I got there as the flock was dispersing--or perhaps I should say *being dispersed*...by a most excellent prairie falcon. This all went down in the strip of meadow known as Waneka Landing just west of the new pickleball courts. The birds were last seen in the vicinity of Sandpiper Dr.

Anyhow, they're in the "Greater Greenlee Ecosystem," Lafayette, Boulder Co., and all is right in the world.
