This morning, to the old university library. Someone had seen a Bohemian waxwing in the garden there. In the trees opposite the garden, a group of male and female siskins.
They flew away. Just one bird stayed.
Soon, that last siskin flew away as well.
Then, a redwing in one of the trees.
Every now and then, redwings flying from the trees to the garden, to eat berries. A song thrush there as well.
Male and female blackbirds liked the berries too.
This morning, no Bohemian waxwings here.

Yes, and they are in a city center (though, for birds, that part has the advantage of some trees and berries).
