A recent trip to New London failed to turn up any Bohemian Waxwings, but I did find a rarer species, at least for me, Pine Grosbeaks.
This has been a good year for winter visitors from the north, mainly finch and waxwings. So far this year I have found some waxwings but not Evening Grosbeaks. I did photograph Evening Grosbeaks in 2012 and 2014. And in 2016, I photographed a large flock of Bohemian Waxwings in New London. My most recent encounter with Pine Grosbeaks was in 2012 during a full weekend of birding.
The flock of Pine Grosbeaks I encountered in New London seemed to be over 90% female. Here are the acrobatic females.
I also got some photos of the few colorful males that worked the small crabapple tree.
It was a good morning, even without the waxwings.
