Appendix. 



groups are included in this family — the waxwings 

 and the phainopepla. 



149. Bohemian Waxwing ; Ampelis garrulus 

 Linn. 



Colors very soft and blending. Size rather large 

 (eight inches long). General color light 

 brownish, varying from vinaceous on the fore 

 parts of the back to clear ashy behind; a fine 

 line of black extends across the eye and around 

 the forehead at the base of the bill; the chin 

 and throat are black; under parts fawn color, 

 changing to pale soft gray ; under tail-coverts 

 rufous. The wing and tail-feathers are edged 

 with yellow or white, and the inner wing-feathers 

 are tipped with hard, shiny red projections that 

 look like bits of sealing wax. A rare and erratic 

 visitant in the mountains or interior valleys of 

 California. 



150. Cedar Waxwing; Cedarbird; Ampelis 

 cedrorum (Vieill.). 



Very like preceding species, but smaller (seven 

 inches long) and under tail-coverts white. 

 Above cinnamon, varying from vinaceous to 

 ash on the tail-coverts. Black stripe through 

 eye, on forehead and on chin. Below cin- 

 namon, changing to olive yellowish and white. 

 Wings and tail slaty, the latter edged with 

 yellow and the former with the wax-like 

 appendages. An irregular winter visitant in 

 the valleys or California; breeds chiefly to the 

 north.
