robins in the berries

December 28, 2009

They’re a noisy bunch, the robins. After announcing their arrival, they tried to eat the dark berries of the ivy along the fence. I pruned back this ivy a few weeks ago. Had I known there was this much interest, I would have left them as they were.

Usually, they with their friends the cedar waxwings have a party in the pyracantha bushes, then disappear. Sometimes they don’t leave till they knock themselves silly on the windows.

Did they fall off the ivy? Repeatedly. The waxwings got their share, but I haven’t gone through all the movie frames to see if I managed to shoot any.

Once again, these are taken from video and are none too sharp. But you get the idea.
