My neighbour is a birder - in fact, his job is banding birds in Watson Lake. He predicted that soon, birds will flock to my mountain ash tree and pick it clean of berries. I watched the birds the other day clean up a tree across the street. It was amazing. The flock swarms down like a tornado, circles the tree then all of them fly away in one swarm. They flew away before I could get me camera and the tree was clean. Today was my turn. I did manage to get a few pictures before they left. Here is a berry eater I caught on film.
