They are indeed Bohemian Waxwings. The Crabapple tree was full of them - I'll post some more photos where you can see their coloring and markings. They are much bigger than the Cedar and have more grayish coloring, plus the yellow and red on their wings. Check out my March 17 post tomorrow.Montanagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428565909247665015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-38369847546208194982013-03-16T09:07:27.138-06:002013-03-16T09:07:27.138-06:00Wow, I am now following Cmdr Hadfield on Twitter a...Wow, I am now following Cmdr Hadfield on Twitter and have sent link to my friend who teaches Astronomy!

It is so important that people get to experience this first hand, we have no idea how this will affect the mind of the ones on the ground in a little class in Alberta. I am so happy you posted this. I have been following this Canadian and am so proud that he is sharing. Technology is what the kids of today get excited about and he is smart enough to realize that. Good for him.
