One Bohemian Waxwing

for the past three days now, we have had one Bohemian Waxwing visiting daily feeding on rose hips on rose vines in our bower.   

This location is a fair distance from our house and I have been taking the pictures from standing in my dining room with my 400mm lens on my old Canon 20D.  It seems that there is just the one Waxwing, it is the only waxwing that we have seen all winter long.

On top of our bower we have a replica of a Chinese Fu dog guardian. I love it when a bird perches on the fudog and that is where the Waxwing stopped for a rest one day earlier this week.

editing note: I had previously mistakenly identified this waxwing as a Cedar Waxwing.  I was wrong about that id.  The waxwing in these photos is definitely a Bohemian Waxwing as (1) its undertail coverts are rufus,(2) it has a rufus tinged face and (3) it has white tips on its wing feathers.One day this week thewaxwing did venture closer to our house and fed on Virginia Creeper berries on vines on top of our pergola and I got to view this magnificent bird a bit closer.
