p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Yesterday's Bohemian visitors...


It warmed up a lot yesterday to a balmy -7C compared to last week where it was -25C or colder. So went outside and heard a beautiful sound in the nearby trees. Turns out this song was being played by 100s of Bohemian Waxwings as they roamed downtown Whitehorse in search of berries on the Mountain Ash trees that are in lots of parks and yards here. I ran back inside and grabbed the gear and set out to see if they wanted their pictures taken. The sun was already going down (this at 3pm) but still managed a few okay shots.

Good set Geoff. Bird imitating quote mark to get berries is my fave.

Beautiful shots Geoff....amazing to see considering the conditions...I would't have expected that they would winter that far north or that there would be food for them throughout the winter. Pretty soon you'll be getting sunrise and sunset shots all in one burst!

Those birds are really nice. Good to see wildlife for my next visit to Whitehorse. I am making a list.

1 is best for me but I would crop it a bit tighter. Just my preference.A little too much space above makes him too centred. But great picture.

Thanks for sharing. Scott

Absolutely stunning Geoff, for me I lean towards #1 but loved them all. I was out at Cle Elum with 3 degree F temperatures looking for them, no luck. Thank you for posting.

I have only seen these birds once and was immediately smitten. Your set is wonderful and so well displays the characteristics I remember .

Eric...yes only 2 weeks to go and then we will start to gain our light back... they are common visitors to town all winter long for some reason. I find it odd also, they seem to look like they should be in the tropics. Such a beautiful bird and they play a beautiful tune also.
