In the past week I have seen a number of flocks of bohemian waxwings in the Ottawa area. No photo ops though.
On my way to see Boreal Chickadees near Ottawa, I finally happened onto a flock of 200 bohemians feeding away on buckthorn berries. What a treat. After 30 minutes I decided to go see the boreal chickadees and then on the way back shoot more bohemians. Boreal chickadees rarely make any southward movement outside the boreal forest with Algonquin Park being the southern limit of their breeding range. This winter has been full of boreal bird surprises including more than the usual number of black-backed woodpeckers down here in Ottawa. Along with a pair of American three-toed woodpecker as well. Very few people know the location of the boreal chickadees near Ottawa as it is not being reported. Suppose I am privileged with this sighting which I am thankful for. No Bohemians on the way back. Oh well, lesson learned for next time Don't leave a good photo op 7D MK2 and 500 f4 II + 1.4x. Cloned out small branch below. Thanks for looking.
