Kevin wrote in and said thousands of birds descended on their berry tree in North Haltom City on Tuesday and stripped it bare of berries in a matter of minutes.
It was amazing to watch! Glad our tree could feed the hungry birds looking for food during this winter storm," he said.

Some bright spots during this bitterly cold weather. The Ingram girls in Greenville had wild goldfinches eating from their hands and sitting on their head. The flocks of robins ate all of the berries in bushes around the house, including ripe ones on the ground!

A dozen, maybe two dozen Robins came to our front porch and kept playing in the snow and slush, and eating the berries off of our bushes.

Nature is adapting. We found dozens of robins rating berries off of the holly bush outside my husband’s office today. No birds have ever eaten them before.

Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center in Cedar Hill posted on its Facebook that we are seeing more robins migrating to Texas this winter as part of an irruption, which occurs as robins migrate in massive numbers to find food.
During a Facebook live video Audubon center educator Katie Christman explained if you want to make sure you have plants to support birds in cold winter months you want to consider hollies, junipers, dogwoods, beauty berries and sumacs. The Audubon center sells native berry plants during a sale each spring and fall.
