it wasn't all bad

because there are no leaves on the trees in 'toba town I was able to see my first Bohemian Waxwings (Bombycilla garrulus). these guys, and thier congener, the cedar waxwing are my favorite genus of birds because they are so well designed. sleek body shape, clean color placement, nice color contrast. I love most all crested birds. and the yellow retrix (tail feather) tips are so wonderful.

Comments:
I once dated a girl who had a Bohemian waxing. Her plumage wasn't so bad, either.

Oh, a waxWING? Nevermind.

Gorgeous birds, though!
 
I'm surprised you still like to look at any birds at all!
