The last fruits of our Cleveland Pear tree are hastily being taken by nearby birds and squirrels. I watched this female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker enjoy a few the other day...

| The fruits closest to the tree have already been taken |

It's been a while since I've regularly posted here on my nature blog. I've been working on a genealogy project and book for my Dad so that has consumed much of my time. I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you for stopping in. Have a wonderful weekend!
