In the cranked Nilsson-plus-random-phase approximation, we study low-lying quadrupole excitations of positive parity and negative signature in {sup 156}Dy and {sup 162}Yb at high spins. Special attention is paid to a consistent description of wobbling excitations and their identification among excited states. A good agreement between the available experimental data and the results of calculations is obtained. We find that the lowest odd-spin {gamma}-vibrational states in {sup 156}Dy transform into wobbling excitations after the backbending associated with the transition from an axially symmetric shape to a nonaxial shape. Similar results are predicted for {sup 162}Yb. The analysis of electromagnetic transitions uniquely determines the sign of the {gamma} deformation in both nuclei after the transition point.
