Chuck Henrikson’s Birding Report From UW–Madison Arboretum
“What are the birds eating these days? There are still a few gray dogwood berries left but very few. Some new berries have ripened on Virginia Creeper, the Black Tupelos and the Junipers. Virginia Creeper is a vine that can climb to the top of tall trees. In the fall the leaves of the Virginia Creeper turn red so a tree can have a trunk that is all red and have its own leaves a totally different color … In one vine I saw American Robins, Gray Catbirds, Swainson’s Thrushes, Red-bellied Woodpeckers and Scarlet Tanagers feasting on the berries.” Read Chuck’s Weekly Birding Report #28.
