Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) growing on a thin layer of glaciated sandy loam, Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area, Ice Age National Scenic Trail, Lodi, WI, 11 October 2014

2014-10-11 GGP05998 Lord of the Ledge

Together with the wild grasses and the salt spray roses, the Eastern Juniper (Eastern Red Cedar) is a common sight along the low dunes that line the beach near the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. This one had a bumper crop of juniper berries, which seem to glow in the late afternoon sun.

Press L to view large on black.

 

(Fourth in a series of four) I have been hearing or seeing flocks of from 20 to 70 Cedar Waxwings fairly regularly in my neighborhood recently.

 

On a morning walk at Lake Shenandoah, I was fortunate to have a large group flying into one of the lakeside cedar trees where I had a good chance to watch them feeding.

 

The birds were often hovering or really reaching to grab the small blue waxy cones of the cedar or juniper tree.

 

The birds all left at once. I suspect they spotted a hawk.

The ripe blue berries of an Eastern Red Cedar tree (Juniperus virginiana).

This is a female Juniperus virginiana (Eastern Red-cedar, Red Cedar, Eastern Juniper, Red Juniper), a species of juniper native to eastern North America. The dusty blue berries are in fact seeds.

In the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Comanche County, Oklahoma, on February 16th, 2023, a view from a roadside overlook on Mount Scott Road.

 

The distant hills on the horizon are known locally as the Slick Hills.

 

The evergreens are eastern redcedar, Juniperus virginiana.

 

The foreground rocks are Mount Scott Granite, part of the Wichita Granite Group, which was formed 533.24 to 515.6334 million years ago (per Macrostrat), in the Cambrian period.

Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) on Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) - Independence Grove (near Libertyville, IL), Lake County Forest Preserve District - 9 October 2010

Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone' 22W48 Common Juniper G4- (Kordes Nursery, Germany 1980) Intermediate Eastern Common Juniper, Size at 10 years: 6x2ft., Emerges Yellow, fades to green, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed G4 for 9.2 YEARS (6). Planted in 2013.

Foliage emerges bright gold in spring with good color retention occurring throughout summer and early fall. Golden foliage gradually fades to bluish green by winter. This cultivar typically matures to 3-5' tall after ten years. It was introduced into commerce by Kordes Nursery of Bilsen, Germany in 1980.

 

Planted 2013. Not very yellow yet? After 5 years, 3x1 feet. 2021 note: 4x2 ft.

(Second in a series of four) This bird has orange tips on the tips of its tail feathers rather than yellow tips. This is evidently caused by diet. In some of my photos of this bird, the orange had a more yellow-orange glow in full sun, but was a strong orange in the shade.

November 19, 2011, Lake Shenandoah, Rockingham County, Virginia.

The ripe blue berries of an Eastern Red Cedar tree (Juniperus virginiana).

Old symbol of infertility.

 

Aka: (Juniperus virginiana) Eastern Red-cedar, Red Cedar, Eastern Juniper, Red Juniper and Pencil Cedar

 

Considered a "pioneer" invader that quickly repopulates deforested areas. (although It isn't its fault that humans clear cut the great forests and gave them a perfect home!). They can live to about 900 years old.

 

Fragrant and cedar-like, although they are truly junipers NOT cedars. They have scaly bark and small needles and produce cones and berries that birds love and spread widely.

  

Droplets of water form on these Juniper Berries as fog rolled in.

Known as Juniperus virginiana, Eastern Red-cedar, Red Cedar, Eastern Juniper, Red Juniper, and Pencil Cedar.

Juniperus virginiana - The berries, which are used to flavor gin, are actually modified cones. These pale blue berries were on a Juniper tree in Carmel,NY. 6-17-08

This is a male Juniperus virginiana (Eastern Red-cedar, Red Cedar, Eastern Juniper, Red Juniper), a species of juniper native to eastern North America; Garland, Texas

remains of a big juniper, washed up on a bay-side beach at Sandy Hook

This fragrant and colorful wood is used in making chests, closet liners, pencils and wood chips to repel moths and other insects. The berries also have some medicinal uses.

Online I couldn't find any information about when the concrete dam was built, but we can be nearly certain it's from the 20th century, right?

 

Meanwhile the granite is from 500+ million years ago, much older than the concrete.

 

-----------------------

 

In the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Comanche County, Oklahoma, on February 15th, 2023, the dam of Burford Lake on Panther Creek, as viewed from the end of the Burford Lake Trail.

 

Panther Creek flows to West Cache Creek, which joins East Cache Creek to form Cache Creek, which flows to the Red River, which historically flowed to the Mississippi River, but now flows to the Atchafalaya River, which flows to the Gulf of Mexico.

 

The granite is Quanah Granite of the Wichita Granite Group, which was formed 533.24 to 515.6334 million years ago (per Macrostrat), in the Cambrian period.
