The Bohemian Waxwings from the Eisenhower Park area were in my yard yesterday. Probably 60-80 Cedars, Bohemians and Robins.  Amazing!

Bohemian Waxwings - Denver Wellshire Golf Course

Gregg Goodrich <gregggoodrich@gmail.com>: Jan 17 04:51PM -0700 We tried for the Bohemian Waxings this morning but no luck at the Mamie Eisenhower Park. Then driving by the Wellshire Golf Course we noticed a large flock on the SW side of the course from Hampden. We parked on the NW side of the course in the residential area. This flock is likely the same one from just east of the Mamie Eisenhower Park.   I got a photo of the flock in flight. Printed the photo. Blocked it into 70 blocks. Counted the birds in each block. 823! My photo of my block count is on the list. I looked at a lot of the birds in the trees before they flew and could find only one Cedar Waxwing.   My first thought was 400-500. But wanted to find out exactly how many. Was way to conservative on my initial estimate. Wonder if all these waxwings will stick with this storm coming in.   Here is my list. No photographer photos, but group photos in trees, on the snow and in flight.   https://ebird.org/checklist/S126390528     Gregg Goodrich Highlands Ranch

Bohemian Waxwings, WRG

Paula Hansley <plhansley@gmail.com>: Jan 17 01:42PM -0700 There is a large flock of waxwings with at least 75 Bohemian Waxwings about 150 m west of the Prospect Park bridge over Clear Creek now! Most vocalizations I heard were from Bohemians.   Park at Prospect Park parking lot off of 44th Ave. They are along the trail which goes along the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt in Jefferson County.   An amazing sight! I've never seen so many Bohemian Waxwings at one time.   Paula Hansley Louisville   -- Paula Hansley Petrographic Consultants International, Inc. Ph: 720-890-2628
