BOHEMIAN WAXWING. 
618. Bombycilla garrula. 8 inches. 
Larger and grayer than our common Cedar Waxwing 
and with yellow and white on the w ing; it is a north- 
ern species and is only casually found in eastern U. 
They nest within the Arctic Cirele and only a few a 
their nests have ever been found. In winter they are 
found in flocks, roving restlessly about the country, 
often appearing where least expected and utterly desert- 
ing other places where they are usually found. 
Nest.—Of small twigs and moss, lined with feathers, 
usually placed at low elevations in spruce or conif- 
erous trees; eggs dull bluish white specked sparingly 
with black (1.00 x .70), similar to those of the Cedar 
Waxwing but larger. 
Range.—Northern parts of the northern hemisphere, 
breeding within the Arctic Circle and wintering cas- 
ually south to Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Kansas and 
California.
