Description
Eastern red cedar and cedar waxwings form a marriage made in bird heaven. Several species adore the blue-gray fruits that resemble berries but are actually cones made of fused scales.
The pyramid shape provides dense nesting and roosting cover for many birds, including sparrows, robins, mockingbirds, juncos and warblers. Birds use the bark for nest material.
There used to be a large window on the front of our photography studio. Many times I would hear a ‘thunk’ and when I looked out, I would see a sparrow or other small bird with an aching head. The birds would eat the berries on the trees and literally get roaring drunk and stagger around. Never did have to replace the window though…
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition.
