Description
The Bohemian Waxwing is an irregular winter visitor from Canada. They inhabit the coniferous forests in Wyoming during the winter months where they feed on juniper berries. The name "Bohemian" refers to the nomadic movements of winter flocks, similar to the inhabitants of Bohemia that move about like gypsies. Since they don't defend any particular territory, they haven't developed a true song. These beautiful little birds are one of my favorite winter subjects.
