The blossoms of the redbud tree are a valuable source of nutrition for pollinators in early spring.  However, it is a little-known fact that a number of species of birds also dine on the redbud tree’s pink flowers.  Three of the species that eat the beautiful flowers are the dark-eyed junco, cedar waxwing, and northern cardinal.

   Have you ever seen birds eating these early spring flowers?  If so, what were they?
