Eating a yew berry in the apple tree

14 Nov 2021 1 49
According to what I hear, the flesh of a yew berry is the only part of the yew that is not poisonous to human beings. I don't know about avian beings, but this chickadee and its partner have been picking them off the bush for a while. There are so few left, they have to go well into the bush to find them. Today being a warm day, they were happily at it. This one took the berry over to our apple tree to eat. After a few bites she (or he: I can't tell) lost it in the leaf litter down below.
