Bohemian waxwings in Kuusamo, Finland
When groups of Bohemian waxwings gather together, there’s likely food involved. This highly social species likes to forage in flocks, primarily feasting on berries. After winter’s first frost, some berries become fermented and our waxwings can get quite tipsy after gorging on them. Like Japanese and cedar waxwings, these Bohemian waxwings get their name from the bright red tips on their wings, which are said to resemble sealing wax.
