You want Bohemians? I got Bohemians. I got 'em noshing, posing, contorting, diving, playing. I even got 'em saying "nyah!" in your general direction.

I spent the morning with a huge, tame flock of Bohemian Waxwings at Herzberg and Legget, watching them feast, immersed in the sound of their gentle trill and the flutter of their wings. I spent about half the time simply blissed out. The rest of the time I took pictures.

So many good ones, yes! #4 captures some of just how many waxwings have been hanging around the place. #2 is probably my favorite.
