The berries of Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra), popular with many birds. Birds that entertain me as they come by to eat the berries.

Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus). A bird that I see as it comes to eat these berries.

Northern Flickers are often at the Smooth Sumac, downing the berries. Sometimes showing off their yellow feathers.

Smooth Sumac is the only small tree/bush that is native to all 48 contiguous US states.

Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) are another species of bird that frequents the Smooth Sumac to eat the berries.

And a last image. So many that haven’t been captured in pixels. This last one of course is a Robin (Turdus migratorius). So many birds love these berries.

And I love the little trees, for the birds that are attracted to them.
