Hi All

     This report come second hand from my brother Jim.  In the past week he has 
had several nomadic flocks of Bohemian Waxwings around Eagle River.  They were 
first located around the Courthouse in Eagle River, but have since been moving 
around quite a bit.  He estimates one of the flocks to have had nearly 100 
birds.  This particular flock may have been a mixed flock with some Cedars 
sprinkled in, he observed the flock while it was in flight and did not have an 
opportunity glass them.  He reports they are cleaning up the Mountain Ash trees 
around Eagle River very quickly.  
     He didn't have any real strategy to try to find them, other than keep 
driving around town.  They best areas in the past have been the neighborhoods 
north of the downtown area.  Looking for those Mountain Ash trees would be a 
good place to start.  Sorry for such a vague locations, but anyone that knows 
about waxwings, knows this is typical behavior.  Good Luck!!
