Thanks again go to Wild Bird Center's Bill Eeds for leading the bird walk in my absence. Due to the huge response to Bill's bird walk last week, he again tried to find the bohemian waxwings that they found last week. Alas, they could not refind the bohemians, but they had plenty of other good birds. Thanks again, Bill.
