Dev & TN-Birders,
Much to the chagrin of my citified neighbors, I absolutely FORBID my yard man
to ever cut down ANY poke weed. I haven't been as lucky as you in having
great birds eating the berries as my ferocious mockingbirds GUARD their
pokeweed
from anything else that flies, walks or crawls. There was a thrush that flew
into a high tree near some "poke" the other day when I went to hang freshly
washed rugs over the deck rail, but he left unidentified before I could get
back
in the house to return with my binoculars. I think it was a Swainson's as
that would be the most likely for the time and location--first thrush ever on
my
property to my knowledge. When I lived in Florida, my "poke" used to draw
the catbirds and thrashers as we lived in the country with LOTS of cover for
them.
