Field Notes

Description:

I love my apple tree and I love my backyard. This apple has fed so many birds! A half remains with the inner soft pulp eaten up. After the rains all kinds of birds show up. A red shafted flicker pushed this yellow shafted flicker away and try to eat out of it before a red finch came and pushed it off.

Habitat:

Backyard.
