Robin eating holly berries

Even through Christmas is past - this beautiful photo looks like a Christmas card.

Steve Schneider says there were flocks of robins eating berries from his neighbor's holly tree. They came and went in small flocks for an hour.

While a colorful photo, nicely composed, I want to take the opportunity to note that European holly is fast becoming one of the worst invasive species in our Puget Sound forests. Robins and other fruit-eating birds are responsible for its spread. This time of year when female hollies are in fruit is a good time to target them for removal.
