🦉 The Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus)

  • Bombycilla bombux (Greek) silk, cilla (Latin) tail
  • garrulus lat .: garrire to chatter, babble, chirp, garrulus chatty, chirping, noisy; ax prone to

We're used to seeing these birds in winter on berry trees in parks and courtyards. In fact, they arrive as early as late September, arriving from the northern taiga forests. They depart as soon as spring begins, although they can still be seen until early May.

Sexual dimorphism in these birds is not pronounced. Males have yellow wingtips and tail tips, and a red spot on their wings. In females, these colors are not as vibrant as in males; they are faded and washed out.

Their little red feather tips go well with the red berries.

Первая фотка прям класс! :)
Но вот курс hive тоже так же в позе этой свиристели - мордой клюва вниз.
