Hi Tuma & All,                Apr 16, 2010
    I have noticed no response to this question so will give it a stab. =
The image seems consistent with Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum or =
perhaps V. opulus). If Viburnum,  then the leaf scars should be =
opposite.

  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.=20
     My question is, is this berry unpalitable to birds unless ever =
other=20
  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.
