[mou] Bohemian Waxwings observation & question

[Pastor Al]

Mixed flock (50-60) of Bohemians & Cedars along the Ann Lake Campground Road
(Sherburne CR 4 in the opposite direction) at noon today.  Interesting to
compare the two from underneath - differences in size & plumage quite
notable.  The Bohemians were also much more vocal (on this occasion).  Nice
county bird.

Is this near the southern edge of their MN range?  Sibley map indicates
this.

Could not relocate the Townsend's Solitaire(s) - but much of the road
(beyond the mile mark) is closed.  The Sherburne NWR Auto Tour is also now
closed (ostensibly for eagle nesting).

Wife called, flock of 200+ Common Redpolls in yard this morning - 20+ have
been in the "overgrown" acres for about a month.

Good birding!
