About this sheet

The bird **Ampelis garrulus** (Bohemian Waxwing).

Title: Ampelis Garrulus - Hand-colored Bohemian Waxwing Lithograph

In the illustration, the Bohemian Waxwing is shown perched on a branch, showcasing its elegant posture and detailed feather patterns. The hand-coloring highlights the bird's beautiful and unique coloration, capturing its essence perfectly.

**Habitat and Distribution:**
The Bohemian Waxwing is a nomadic bird that breeds in the boreal forests of the northern hemisphere and is known for its irruptive winter migrations. It can be found in:

- **Europe:** Breeding in the northern parts and migrating southwards in the winter, often seen in large flocks feeding on berries.
- **Asia:** Found across the boreal forests of Siberia, and migrates to more temperate regions during the winter.
- **North America:** Breeds in the northern boreal forests of Canada and Alaska, migrating to the northern United States in winter.

Bohemian Waxwings are gregarious birds, often seen in large flocks during the non-breeding season. They primarily feed on berries and insects, playing a significant role in the dispersal of berry seeds.

This print captures the Bohemian Waxwing's distinctive features and vibrant colors, making it a valuable addition to any ornithological collection.
