"Thanks again, Dan, to show me ( a new spotter for Project Noah) the proper way!"
Dan Doucette
I am glad you found the proper ID. Once you have it, there is no need to suggest it for your own spotting. You can just add the proper information into the common and scientific names and add your link. Great spotting too! I love the sharpness of the buds and color contrast.
