Dear Fellow Birders,

After reading Chris Earley’s posting about the Bohemian Waxwings in the UofG 
Arboretum I quickly finished off an assignment and headed over there. I managed 
to find the three of them at the far end of the Arboretum Centre parking lot 
feeding on a red berry bush. However, after a few minutes they took off to the 
north. I did refind them on College Rd about ~500m west of Victoria Rd. I have 
a feeling that there are only three left, and they may take a bit of searching 
to find. But what a reward for my last day of university!

Directions (thanks to Chris Earley): To get to The Arboretum, University of 
Guelph, take Hwy 6 north from the 401. When you reach College Avenue, turn 
right and follow to the University of Guelph area. After going over Gordon St., 
you will go up a hill and then down a steep hill with the Uof G stadium on your 
right. Go up the next hill and turn right on East Ring Road. Follow East Ring 
Road and turn left just before the crosswalk onto Arboretum Road. Follow 
Arboretum Road (which is one way) until you get to the parking lots.
