Seething
Thursday and Friday mornings the trees outside work were filled with a mixed flock of robins and cedar waxwings. A single mocking bird held the highest limb against the oncoming starlings, and a red-bellied woodpecker ran up and down the old tree's trunk while a mourning dove watched the little birds seethe through the vines covering the trees by the brook, calling all the while. Gorgeous.










They can be so hard to see!

Lovely pictures, Karen. There's nothing like a tree full of birds. Around here, though, starlings are public enemy number one! - Elizabeth Kent
Here, too! It always startles me to read Europeans writing about them - they're certainly a nuisance over here.
