Robins like winterberries in spring, too



These winterberries (Ilex verticillata) may be wizened and not nearly as appealing as they were during the winter, but now that the northern mockingbird is no longer claiming them as his own, this robin is getting a meal.

Fresh new berries won't be available until the serviceberries (Amelanchier canadense) are ready in June.
