BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS whole, so they tried to peck them to pieces.Their beaks were not strong enough to do this,so they tried to swallow them anyhow. Some-times a bird would fly up with one in his mouth,but he always dropped it and went to another,sometimes larger and sometimes smaller than thelast, but invariably with the same result. The waxwings are so called because of the red-tipped secondaries (wing-feathers) which look asthough they had been dipped in red sealing-wax. The Bohemian waxwing is larger than theordinary cedar waxwing and is a natural residentin the high mountains and in the far north. Ithas a bright brown mask, a black band throughthe eye, a black chin, bright yellow-and-whitewing patches, and a broad yellow band on the tail.R. Bruce Horsfall, Jr. (age 12).
