Cedar Waxwings

I was so surprised to see these birds way at the top of the Bradford Pear Tree (Callery Pear) early in the morning. They were so high up that I just assumed they were European Starlings. Later in the colder months these birds will flock by the hundreds here for these berries. The Bradford Pear is an ornamental and deciduous tree. Now they have discovered it is invasive and easily damaged by storms and high winds. I have seen hundreds of little trees trying to grow under these two large ones I have. They just get mowed. I have only one I am growing from one of the berries that landed in my flower bed. Many birds love these berries, also the skunks and my donkey goes crazy trying to get them.
