Robin Busy Harvesting The Black Cherries
There was a large group of birds high up in this tall tree. It was a busy and noisy place on this lovely morning walk. Many of the birds were robins I think, but it was a good distance above, and some birds were well hidden. When seeing this image on the computer I noticed the cherries better. This is a native Black Cherry tree perhaps? It looks like a bountiful crop and should keep many birds and critters happy, and busy, for awhile.

The fruits of the Black Cherry are a food source for birds and many mammals.
Each cluster holds 6-12 of these dark red berries. They are astringent but edible, and ripen in late August to early September.
The Black Cherry is a native species in North America.
The wood was once very popular in making furniture and has thus become scarce.

Black cherry is an important forest tree for wildlife because of its fruit. It can grow up to 22 metres tall (72 feet) when it grows in southern Ontario.
