Update: Last year they came January 27. You can see the Bohemian Waxwing Video here.
The ADN reported that the Audubon Annual birdcount this year said the waxwings were the most numerous bird in Anchorage this winter - 22,000 - four times more than seen at last year's count.
One theory for the increase in waxwings over the last 30 years is the free mountain ash trees that were given away by oil companies in the early 1980s. We have one of those free trees. The other one was already a serious tree when we bought the house in 1977.
Great! Dianne
