Holly tree



Just took this picture of the very large holly tree in our backyard. You may have to click to embiggen to search for the few holly berries that remain. We have had a large flock of robins (Noisy,too) perch on the tree for a couple of weeks. I watched long enough to determine that yes, indeed,the robins were picking the berries, swallowing them whole, fertilizing and then going on to the next berry.
Perhaps someone from the birding community will weigh in to inform us the eating habits of robins and perhaps their Latin name. 'Kay?
