My yard in the fog today - flock of 17-20 robins in a feeding frenzy eating the tiny purple berries of a 20-inch high Callicarpa dichotoma bush, trying to balance on its skinny orange stems, joined by 3 starlings.  Quite a sight!  The robins hang out in my swamp; starlings are visiting, not resident.  Resident hen turkey did visit today.
