Bohemian waxwing

The Bohemian waxwing is a sleek, crested bird with soft grey-brown feathers, black eye markings, and striking red-tipped wing feathers that look like drops of sealing wax. It lives in northern forests across Eurasia and North America, often seen in lively flocks feasting on berries. Its elegant appearance makes it stand out from other waxwing species.

• Young birds have duller colors and lack the signature red waxy wingtips.
• Its wings display bold patterns of white and bright yellow.
• Despite overlapping ranges, it’s larger than cedar and Japanese waxwings.
