The Bohemian Waxwing, Bombycilla garrulus, is a subtly beautiful bird of the northern forests of Asia and northwestern North America. It eats primarily fruit, but will also take invertebrates - especially during breeding season.
You can often see them in large flocks - especially in the winter on fruit trees where there is some fruit remaining.
Classification:
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Bombycillidae

"I was thrilled to finally get a reasonable photo or two of a COLD, fluffed up Bohemian Waxwing when I was on a day bus trip to Lake Louise two days ago. We stopped for lunch at an old railway station that has been turned into a restaurant, by Lake Louise. There were three Waxwings in a bush near the building. Usually, my photos are of a flock of Bohemians that have flown to the top of a very tall Spruce tree!"
