Default Love my Mulberry tree!!!

Darnit!! Lost my first post cause I hit the back button rather than
Post msg!! Grrr...

Anyway, no silly, Cedar Waxwings are a really beautiful little bird.
They're shaped like a Cardinal but about the size of a Sparrow.
They're berry eating birds and they travel in flocks of about 30.

Here's a really good article and a pic (to see the full body shot,
click the plus sign under the headshot):

Enjoy your mulberries, I love them too!

Oh,no!!!! Do they eat the leaves also?


Just wait until it gets large enough that the Cedar Waxwings discover it,
and you have "purple rain" all day for weeks!!! :^)
