I gave my old FZ200 a run and was happy with the result.
The first Mistletoe bird I have seen in a long time and the first ever at Royal Park.
This is our only little girl and she is very special! She is very very sweet and tender. She is calm and such a cutie pie! Like a lot of doodles she loves to be held and just wants to be with you all the time!

The only location for mistletoe around here that I know of: the poor host tree is looking quite poorly these daysm but the mistletoe is doing very well! Fortunately I now see a nearby tree has some so if this one succumbs it will still persist
Mistletoe is a semi parasitic shrub growing on the branches of a variety of trees, perhaps, most commonly on apple and poplar but also on hawthorn, elm, sycamore, ash, cotoneaster, lilac, pears, willow, hazel, limes and several others. I have successfully grown one on Fremontodendron californicum (Californium Glory). Male and female flowers occur on separate plants (dioecious) flowering from February to April. The fruit is a one seeded berry.

A Lodgepole Pine Dwarf Mistletoe (Arceuthobium americanum?). Notice the berries on it. So when a bird eats one, it delivers the seed, with a little fertilizer to another tree branch, were a new Mistletoe can start.
A recent storm finally got rid of most of the leaves on one of our oaks, now you can see the mistletoe very clearly. It's usually hidden by the oak leaves. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistletoe
Japanese waxwings fly to Japan from Siberia and northeastern China during the winter months, and when I set up Google Alert for Japanese waxwing, I found news of their arrival in various parts of Japan, and gradually they began to be found in neighboring prefectures.
The cherry trees in my neighborhood have a very large number of mistletoe attached to it, which is a favorite place for Japanese waxwing.
The sticky mistletoe berries become mistletoe feces, which again attach to the cherry trees and multiply.
As a result, the cherry trees become more and more a paradise for Japanese waxwing.
Mistletoe isn't a tree or shrub....but instead is a parasite that grows on trees. The green clumps in the tree above are all bunches of it.
Each year our neighbor up the street from us leaves a bunch of tied mistletoe on our front porch. She owns a flower shop . . I guess that would explain it and of course she and her husband are so very thoughtful . . . ;-) She reminded the hubs to remove the "berries" because they are poisonous to Mr. Toby . . . ;-)
