1. Bohemian Waxwing
Bohemian Waxwing Most Beautiful Birds
The bohemian waxwing is medium-sized bird with a signature crested head and distinctive black mask. They’re mostly greyish brown with cinnamon-hued under-tail plumage and yellow-tipped tails. The red-colored feather edges beautify this passerine.

The bohemian is one of the three waxwing species that exists. The other two are the cedar waxwing and the Japanese waxwing. The bohemian is larger than the cedar, and more rare than either of the other two. And in our opinion, it is definitely the prettiest bird of the waxwing family.

Bohemian waxwings can be found in North America where they live in boreal forests nesting on tree branches, where small insects and fruits make up their diets. They are migratory birds that move in massive flocks into the northwest of the United States during winter.
