Busy Bird Day

Quite the busy day for birds today. Oodles and more oodles of Robins (Turdus migratorius), Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum), a couple Chickadees (Poecile), and a two Carolina Wrens (Thryothorus ludovicianus). I’m sure there were more. Too many to take in.

The Beautyberry Bushes (Callicarpa) were shaking with so many of them going after the berries. Those bushes are close and easy for me to see, but the birds were flying all through the woods, going after the wild berries too.

This particular Carolina Wren captured my imagination, appearing to show off its beautiful feathers. But of course it was there at the birdbath caring for those feathers.

Quite the busy day.
