Hi

For those who will be trying for Bohemian Waxwing tomorrow:

Holden officially opens at 9am although the gates and visitor center are
usually open around 8. Please stop at the visitor center and offer to pay
the nominal admission fee. This is doing the right thing if you are a non
member. Also please park in the parking lots and not along the drives.
Holden has its own police department. If you are parked in an inappropriate
place officer friendly may not like it.

Today the bird has been hanging around the perimeter of the overflow
parking lot, but also did move to the edge of Corning lake and the Malus
collection. It is hanging out with a group of Cedar Waxwings but there are
multiple flocks of these. Looking for Cedars is your best bet. The area
where this bird is being found is over 200 acres in size so if you are
searching be sure to exchange mobile numbers with others for best
communication. Again Holden is a big place and the people in the visitor
center will help to get you oriented and have maps.

If you also want to try for the Hoary Redpolls check with the visitor
center for current information and directions to Buckeye Bud's Birdseed
Buffet, which is about a 0.3 mile walk from the visitor center.

Good luck

Haans
