Earlier this year I posted a beautiful tree laden with berries; then came the cedar waxwings and the robins and they have stripped the tree completely. This posting will show the sequence of this progression. I hope you enjoy the post; please try the downloads.

I would say you hit it right on the nose John. Someone posted a reply on the original tree shot that said something to the effect 'enjoy it while you can as they will strip it bare' pretty darn prophetic don't you think. Thanks for view and commenting I really appreciate it as always.

Cheers Doddy & thanks for stopping by and the nice comment. Much appreciated as always. I found it interesting how quickly they were able to clean that tree of fruit. Sure hope they come back. :) :thumbup:

Thanks for stopping by and the nice comment; thank God for his infinite plan that feeds his feathered creations. Can you imagine nothing eating the berries and then they get squashed into the driveway? I hope to see a big crop of both food and eaters this fall & winter. Thanks again your comments always appreciated.

Thanks so much for stopping by and the great comment; as always I appreciate it very much. Sometimes photos need to be tied together with a few words to tell the story and I thought this to be one of those times. Thanks again.
