Bohemian Rhapsody

They have unique red tips to some of the wing feathers where the shafts extend beyond the barbs; in the Bohemian and Cedar Waxwings, these tips look like sealing wax, and give the group its common name (Holloway 2003).

So to today's flock on Langdale Drive in any bush with berries on it, and down to five or so feet at times.  Superb!
