[birdky] BKY yard birds

Yesterday morning my one winter resident robin was busy scavenging the 
remains of a dried persimmon on the driveway. I don't know how it has 
managed to find anything to munch on with our freezing temperatures. Then 
out of no where at least 100 robins plus a few waxwings descended on a 
two-story holly tree full of berries.  All of that activity and chatter 
brought in another resident, the red-tail hawk who has sat  patiently for 
two days in a tree nearby  ignoring the screeching jays that fly around its 
beak.  The mockingbird was beside himself because this was his tree, 
and  not a buffet for any hungry avian.

I don't know if the hawk took a robin, but the berries are sure gone!!

Also, heard and saw for the first time on my street an EC Dove.  Normally 
they are in another neighborhood about a mile away.
