Bohemian Waxwings

Lots of Waxwings

The first day of winter and fairly warm.  You can't knock that in the north.  I had a fun day following the flocks of Bohemian Waxwings around Whitehorse, trying for a decent photo or two.  I really didn't have anything that was up to par in my file.

The birds were quite co-operative but it was almost noon before there was any good light.

Right in the middle of one flock was a bird I did't recognize.  From my bird book, it looks like a  Townsend's Solitaire.  It is listed as "uncommon" and did seem to be enjoying the winter weather.
