I realize that for some folks these are pretty common, but in Northern Illinois it's a rare treat. Thank you in advance for any comments or critique, it's greatly appreciated.

Nice shots, Ken. One never knows when these vagabonds will show up. My old ornithology classmate, a reknown bird illustrator, has travelled the world but has yet to see a Bohemian waxwing. Congratulations!

Very nice.

If the Cornell range map is correct you indeed caught a regional rarity.

Seems about right George. I was talking to a birder here in the area and he said he's see two in Illinois in 30 years.
