BOHEMIAN WAXWING. 



618. Ampelis garrulus. 8 inches. 



Larger and grayer than our common Ceder Wax- 

 wing and with yellow and white on the wing; it is a 

 northern species and is only casually found in eastern 

 U. S. They nest within the Arctic Circle and only a 

 few of 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 deserting 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. 



Eange. Northern parts of the northern hemisphere, 

 breeding within the Arctic Circle and wintering cas- 

 ually south to Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Kansas 

 and" California.
