Hi last eveing a walk around my yard  provided   views of several bird 
species eating  from  the Mulberries on the property  next door.    birds 
seen eating  were
Tufted Titmouse   first time for me  seeing them eat the fruit
Brown Thrasher
Grackle
Gray Squirrel
Birds Nearby
Hairy woodpecker
Eastern Bluebirds  tending  to a nearby nest in and old Purple Martin  house
     A couple of weeks ago  I saw an Indigo Bunting  eating fruit from a 
Mulberry tree. Also a first for me .
During  my walk  I came across a Brown Thrasher  in the  mowed grass pecking 
at something  it would pound away at it with its beak  pick it up  put it 
back down  peck away again  after the second time  I could  tell that it was 
a small snake  the the thrasher  had designs on  for dinner . Never did see  
it eat it but it  flew off around  the corner of a group of small saplings  
out of sight .    A   couple of weeks ago  the eggs  in aThrashers nest in a 
  Red Cedar  in the yard  was robbed of its eggs nest itself unharmed.  A 
Black Snake was  seen in the area around that time  but not by me.

The Thrasher could hav been  carrying out its revenge on snakes .


Happy Birding
