Bayberrying – Field and Footnotes
https://fieldandfootnotes.wordpress.com/2016/12/11/bayberry-candles
Two birds in the woods. December 11, 2016. December 12, 2016. With help, I gathered a scant pound of berries, leaving fruit for other foragers. Today the principal foragers of bayberries are yellow-rumped warblers, whose unusual ability to digest lipids in the berries’ coating allows them to overwinter where others of their genus cannot. Indeed, the eastern subspecies of the yellow-rumped warbler is known as the myrtle warbler, after its reliance on the fruit. Northern bayberry (Myrica pennsylvanica).
