Robins!Ok, I admit that this is not the most exciting video, but bird and nature lovers will appreciate it. This is a short video of robins gorging on camphor berries. I was glad to see the birds. They stripped the tree of every single berry over the course of 2 days.
I estimate that the flock of robins consisted of over a hundred birds and they ate several hundred pounds of berries. The tree was covered with berries. The drupes were so heavy that the branches broke. In years when the robins don't pay a visit they end up on my car, driveway, roof--EVERYWHERE. Camphors are beautiful trees but very messy. Two years ago a "mega-flock" of robins (500+) descended on the tree and stripped it in 20 minutes. It was incredible. I wish I had a video of that. That year was an "irruption" (I had to look it up) which means that many more migratory robins decided to make Tampa their home than usual. About 3/4 of the way through the video my neighbor decided to turn on his blower. |
