Ottawa - Winter visitor, along with hundreds of others soon to depart for the northwest to breed. The birds only showed up in numbers in recent days with two areas having several thousand. This one has flown down to the water for a quick drink after eating buckthorn berries.

Sue Bishop: Lovely. I haven't seen one in years.
Brian Morin: We haven't had any locally for a few years so the large number drew my attention to the Ottawa area. Most will likely be gone in a few days.

Ingleside - I didn't have far to go for these birds which was nice for a change. This was my first good opportunity to work with the waxwings this winter.

Winter weather is always unpredictable. With only a few minutes before sunset, a fog bank cleared and allowed some golden light through. Boundary Bay, BC.

BrianMorin: Great late day light. We haven't had any visitors this winter because there's a good mountain-ash crop in the North.
Chris: Got lucky with the cloud / sunset this time.

We had a good irruption of these birds this winter. On this day there were 100 plus at this location.

Ingleside - I tried in vain all winter to track down these birds. Very few in our area but many to the north. I finally located a small flock in a crabapple tree. They were very cooperative and the light was excellent.

Reifel Bird Sanctuary, Delta BC.
A life list addition for me, there are a large number of these birds in various spots in the Lower Mainland this year. I was lucky to have them land on this tree as I was heading out of the Sanctuary.

Bohemian Waxwings get to Southern Europe only in invasion years. In my region in Switzerland they are usually found on persimmon trees, which carry their fruit in the winter (in this photo, though, they are on a different tree since it was later in the season, no more persimmons on the trees).
