Elderberries
Hello there,
These bright red berries are a major hit for several bird species, especially Cedar Waxwings. In fact, I went back to this small tree a week or two after this shot and I heard waxwings. I waited and waited, but I realized that they were feeding at the back side of the tree for which I had no access. I came back the next day and most of the berries were gone (and so were the Cedar Waxwings).
Red elderberry trees are quite hardy and can be found in the wild or planted in home gardens/properties. They grow to about 8-15 feet tall. If the birds don't get to them first, the berries can be used to make wine or jelly.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. Have a lovely day!
