Grand Central for Pyracantha

Our Pyracantha bushes served as magnets for the voracious Robins. They literally fought each other for each berry.

They picked the most accessible berries and left the rest to the Cedar Waxwings (See the next post. )

Birds Forage on Pyracantha Berties

An almost Spring day in late January brought out myriads of birds for a feast.

Next post will show the bushes crowded with Robins.
