Like ice wine, the berries on the Arbutus trees are most delicious after a frost.. The trees this morning were filled with hoods of robins drunk on the arbutus wine… One robin hit our window where the hawk hit Tuesday… I watched him stumble around on the deck in a drunken stupor .. he did survive and flew away. We have now moved a wind chime in front of the window.
