A few days ago, I watched a Red-bellied feed on samara (or may be insects associated with the samara) of Ash I think. He had to sit and hang in awkward positions. For some time he hovered like chickadees.

This morning, the fruit is being eaten by Robins, Cedar Waxwings, HOUSE FINCHES, WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS and one RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER! Not what I would expect (other than the Robins and Waxwings). What a nice resource!
