Our Maple is hosting again


Our October Glory Maple tree, the one I’ve written about below, propagation, was new last Spring 2002. Installed as a large tree, it immediately was subject to hosting a Northern Mockingbird couple and their nest and youngun’s.

That nest lasted all summer and into autumn and winter, and now in mid-spring is being overhauled by a pair of American Robins just since yesterday. Frank saw them active yesterday, and I witnessed it myself this morning as I surveyed the front yard with my cup of coffee in hand.

Very fortunate tree, that is, hosting new birds two years in a row. It’s first two years in our landscape at that. It’s a beautiful full tree, and will only get bigger. It’s a nice site for a nest, and the birds obviously agree!
