An American Robin Feasting on Dogwood Berries

A flock of American robins [Turdus migratorius] went absolutely crazy today over the dogwood berries in northeast Jefferson County. I had to take a break from blogging to get some shots. Here’s one of the best. The temperatures eased back up into the 50s today after our early winter weather here, and the sun was shining some too, for a change. It’s too bad all the fall color disappeared in a flash. We missed it this year. Maybe we’ll get another chance at a camping trip soon…

    Sometimes, seeing birds about their usual business, I remember that they’re the only living direct descendants of dinosaurs. Thankfully for most of us mammals, they’re much smaller than their distant ancestors and that many of them eat berries and seeds. But, if you happen to be a squirrel, rabbit or chipmunk, the news still isn’t good after all that evolution.
