Also this morning, the Arrowwood shrub right next to the Binnen Bridge ( waterfall) was a little active, due to the abundant blue fruit available. I had Red-eyed Vireos, Magnolia Warbler, Least Flycatcher ( it consumed a berry!) , Catbird, and maybe another interesting vireo that was obscured by foliage. Its a great shrub , one that a few years back a Philadelphia Vireo hung out for a few days, consuming the berries.
here's the plant----> http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/viburnumdent.html
