Bullock's Oriole, Bohemian Waxwing, Boulder County

[Richard Pautsch]

I saw the Bullock's Oriole on today's CBC (Area 3) at 8:30.  It was roosting in the tallest tree in the back yard of 820 10th St with a group of Robins (looked quite disheveled with its feathers puffed up for warmth).  Best visible from the alley.  It was not there at 11:30, and had not been seen at the freshly-stocked feeder yet this morning.  After considerable searching, I also found the Bohemian Waxwing, eating the red berries with multiple Robins and many Cedar Waxwings.  The Waxwing seemed very active, and is most easily picked out from the Cedars by looking for the white wing bar (and light gray breast rather than yellow).
