There are some Washington hawthorn trees planted along the parking lot of
the post office in Morehead, Rowan County.  These hawthorns hold their
berries all winter.  During the past month, a number of birds have utilized
the berries including cedar waxwings, robins, and starlings.  A fox squirrel
was perched at the end of a branch today eating the berries.

 

Greenbrier berries have sustained turkeys and grouse in the forest this
winter.  Greenbrier holds berries all winter long too.  A friend harvested
two grouse this season, one in Fleming County and one in Rowan County, and
both crops were packed with greenbrier berries.
