Hi All:
I have a shot of Cedar Waxwings at Sullivan's pond. One of the shots has one of the birds eating a berry that seems to have seen better days. Can someone take a look at the picture and if you can identify the berry/species, I would really appreciate it.
The shot is at http://gallery.me.com/tumayoung and it is in the album titled "Waxwings" and it is the 4th picture in the series.
Thank You
Tuma Young

Subject: [NatureNS] Cedar Waxwings
Hello All,
I have a small ornimental shrub in front of my house. It's common
name is Boxwood. I trim it to a circular shape less that a meter
in circumferance. This plant has small oval green leaves, a multitude
of shape thorns, produces pretty small pink flowers in the fall which
produce a bright red berry which stays on the bush all winter long.
I have often wondered, in the depths of winter, why the birds have
not been attracted. Today, a mob of fifteen cedar waxwings arrived
and took ever berry within minutes.
My question is, is this berry unpalitable to birds unless ever other
source food is depleated, or does it take months of freeze/thaw
cycle for this berry to be mature and be tasty for the birds?
Suggestions welcomed.
