Great sketch!
Tim, that is my nemesis bird! I am hoping one drops down into Missouri for a visit this winter, but the odds look pretty slim. I may just have to be content with your artistic representation of this elusive (for me) bird!

Another beautiful sheet.
When we planted a crabapple in our yard almost 20 years ago we hoped to get feeding flocks of birds in the fall/winter for the fruit. Finally now we can count on American Robins. But never yet have we seen a single Waxwing!! It should be perfect for them, though I suspect the missing ingredient maybe the lack of nearby water. I always seem to see them near water. In fact they had a lot to do with getting me started in birding. I was being skunked on a week long flyfishing trip. I would see the trout rise but I would never see them go for my flies. But there were these colorful birds flying about as a flock. That was my intro to waxwings. And eventually I gave up fishing for birding.

C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
Just in case Mr Modesty forgets, I'm here to name and shame. Our Mr Wootton has not only gone and won yet another award this year, but is also now a full member of the SWLA. I'll let him give the details, but I just wanted to be first in the queue for the celebratory drinks.

Indeed. As mentioned elsewhere, jolly good show!
Richly deserved I might add, this past year's work has been phenomenal...
