Thursday's Bird Watch

Now is the perfect time to visit the Delbert Hunter Arboretum adjacent to out Dallas City Park. The reason is that the fruit of the Indian Plum, also known as Osoberry, is just ripening and the American Robins and Cedar Waxwings are feeding on the cherry shaped fruit like crazy.  Notice the fruit in the mouth of this American Robin I photographed on Saturday, June 3rd while sitting on a park bench in the Arboretum.  Plan your visit soon, as the birds will devour the fruit in the next couple of weeks.
