Every Fall, flocks of Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) return to the the LipsYard to clean the Snowdrift Crabapple (Malus 'Snowdrift')of it's orange berries.
They start at the top of tree because it offers the most protection from predators. Flocking Robins (turdus migratorius)also get in on the fruit eating, too.
I'm guessing the folks at Blackwater (doing our country's mercenary bidding in Iraq,) feel a bit like the orange berries, getting pecked at from all directions over their questionable actions. I'll side with those doing the pecking (Congress, State dept. Pentagon, Iraqi parliament,) because we can always grow more fruit.
