More heavy blizzards today but I made it out in the gaps. Only 2 Crossbill and not many other birds around but I did find a flock of 7 Japanese Waxwing. They were feasting on a bigger berry than normal.

They yellow belly immediately distinguishes this species from Bohemian Waxwing (which were around last week but have since moved on).
Some Dusky Thrush were in the same tree…
