We do occasionally get Cedar Waxwings coming into or through our yard. But, what I would really like to see in our yard is a BOHEMIAN WAXWING.

* I would really like to see this bird anywhere!

I have been to the northern USA looking for it a few times in the winter and have been unsuccessful even on those trips.

Edit: I just noticed that this is a repeat for me. My post #24 also stated that I wanted a BOHEMIAN WAXWING. Perhaps this added post will bring one to our yard. Wouldn't that be a nice Christmas Present!!

Northern Shrike. I get the occasional Loggerhead, so why not a Northern some winter day?

A strange one to add but I would love to see a house sparrow in the garden!! - have regular tree creepers. nuthatches, tawny owl, 5 species of tits, had all 3 woodpeckers, barn owl flies through, 20,000+ pink foots fly over most days and we have seen 3 harrier species from the house - but no house sparrow!!
