I'm wondering whether anyone else saw a large flock of waxwings this 
afternoon near Norwich?

Spencer and I were birding for 2 hours, with an eye out esp. for 
Bohemians. As predicted by "Murphy's Law", I dropped him off an an 
appointment at 4pm, and within 5 minutes found a flock of ~200 waxwings 
along Rt. 5 just south of Norwich (near the Car Store). Setting up a 
scope on the road's shoulder in the rain, I saw only 2 which were 
definitively Bohemians... so I'm wondering if anyone else might have 
also seen them.

The flock was very unsettled, alighting briefly in various trees, then 
swirling about. Fun to watch but difficult to keep a scope on in the rain.

Thanks-
Doug Hardy, Norwich
