Japanese Waxsings here again!
| They have been getting together in a small park just before the Tokiwadai Station. Bird watchers, eager to see them closer, resignedly stay some distance away from them. They are so careful. |
 |
They must be very hungry.
| "I haven't seen their droppings at all today." said a watcher. Those local birds looks stronger in fighting with Japanese waxwings for food. And most of the food or wild berries were eaten up now. |
 |
The Mistletoe
| It was at this site where the Japanese waxsings were first seen in this season eating mascat-green berries of the mistletoe. |
 |
The Mistletoe
| Mistletoe get nourishment from these cherry trees. But that is not all. They offer their berries as food to birds like waxwings. Waxwings's droppings, which includes seeds of the mistletoe, get another branch for the mistletoe to start its new life. A give and take! |
