Bohemian Waxwing

Bohemian Waxwing

A cousin to Cedar Waxwings, Bohemian Waxwings(Bombycilla garrulus) are slightly larger and known for their bright yellow tipped tail feathers and red tabs on their wing feathers for which their name originates. They are often seen in large flocks feasting on Rowan berries.

Accurate representation inspired by Audubon’s print layout. Sized to match Harvell edition prints from the double elephant folio edition. Read Audubon’s journal about his encounters.
