Field Notes

Description:

Signs of Fall. When the Firebush begins to make it's berries, the Hummingbirds know soon there will be no blossoms to issue their nectar and they head South

Habitat:

Gardens, bird sanctuaries

Notes:

I think other birds eat the black berries, because they never seem to last long.
