["Susan Lambert" <sclgeographer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Saturday afternoon  about 5:30 p.m. a huge flock of robins arrived at my
farm.  There are some really big old cedars that set a lot of berries (not
sure if that's what you call them on cedars, but the berries on junipers are
pretty wonderful in gin).  

The robins were devouring them, along with the holly berries on the 'china
girl' shrubs under the cedar.  It was very noisy, beautiful, and exciting.

Within an hour they were gone.

Here are some pictures:

The first one is of the whole cedar tree full of robins.
The second one is a closeup of a limb full of robins.
The third one is some nearby ash trees with some robins waiting their turn
at the cedar tree.
