Tom,
I thought you might find this interesting.

On my way into work today, I took a detour to observe a flock
of cedar waxwings. It was one of the larger flocks I've seen. As I watched
them in the top of a birch tree, about one third of the flock flew down to
a deciduous evergreen bush with red berries still in abundance. Instantly
from out of the bush flies a mockingbird and chases all the waxwings out
of its bush. But that wasn't good enough, some of them landed in a nearby
berry-less, leafless low tree & the mockingbird chased them out of that
tree as well. The mockingbird was incredibly outnumbered, but that didn't
matter. One by one it chased them all away, and rather quickly too.
