Agreed, Pokeweed berries are great bird food, as well as being beautiful colorful plants. I have also had Swainson’s Thrush, Gray Catbird, Scarlet Tanager, Red-eyed Vireo, and Northern Cardinal eating them. - - Dave Nutter > On Oct 16, 2023, at 11:49 AM, Regi Teasley wrote: > > All > If yo

We just had a flock of Waxwings dining on the fruit of the Washington Hawthorns in our yard. These small trees are native and thus very easy to grow. And “tree top” is about 20 feet so you can see the birds with no effort. Do you have room for a hawthorn in your yard? Regi What good is a h

We have one tulip tree on our property, planted by a former resident perhaps 30 years ago. When we have Cedar Waxwings in the neighborhood, we often see them in this tree. The birds also frequent a Bradford pear that is within 50 feet of the tulip. Also a white ash that is another 50 feet fro

Yesterday (Sunday) evening near the Taughannock swimming area, a not-quite-fledgling waxwing was on the grass presumably fallen from its nest. Its frequent trills alerted its presence to some of the many passers by, though on at least one occasion when it took a break from calling, someone almost s
