in a spruce tree by the CLAS building.

 From David Schonfeld and Carrie Crompton:
4/12 - Storrs, UConn campus, off Glenbrook Road -- 1 BOHEMIAN WAXWING
alone in the crabapple adjacent to the CLAS building entrance.  Seen
from 12:30-2:00pm. It was very cooperative and obliging. Too bad we
had no camera. It was not flocking with the many Cedars on campus and
left its tree when a few Cedars arrived.

tall trees by the Wilbur Cross Library at 7:20 by Denny Abbott.  Later
moved to the crabapple trees on the the west side of the CLAS
building.  The bird was present when I left at 8:00 am.
