Feeding Frenzy

This has, I am told, been happening every day. Usually in the morning, or near sunset, the madrona in our yard is beset by swarms of birds diving into the tree and swooping out, several at a time, and in all manner of variety (although anything crow-sized or larger stays away). The reason: the berries in the madrona are fermenting, and the birds are getting their fill and then (s)tumbling, drunk as a city council candidate, back to their nests, to work off the hang-over.
