Large Flock Bohemian Waxwings - Orono

[Sean Rune]

This morning I went out to the ornamental gardens on the Univ. of Maine Orono campus, and photographed a very large flock of Bohemian waxwings in a tree. By examining the photo later I got a count of 278! I undershot the county by about 100 before using the photo. There were also about 5 Cedar Waxwings mixed in.
