A week ago I shared pictures of a couple dozen crows roosting in the top of a pine tree a couple houses down the street.
The local great horned owls also use that tree regularly.
Someone wasn’t happy with that tree’s condition however.
The good news is that they kept the bottom part of the tree, where the needles haven’t fallen off and the branches aren’t bare.
The bad news is that the roost for the birds is gone.
I understand that something was destroying the tree (some insect infestation or disease?) and they wanted to save what they could. I approve. And the owls are still out there almost every night, it’s not like that was their only perch or worse, where they had a nest. I guess I’m just dealing with a bit much change at the moment and could have done without this little addition to the list.
