Death of a tree

These are two pictures of the area where the most damage at Rosetta happened. The tree that went over the edge was really big so it's no wonder how much land it took with it.

When we have the raptor watch in the fall we always joke about how a lot of the trees get in the way and seem to make birds disappear, but when they're gone you really miss them. I think the tree that went over was a poplar.



Just realized I had a similar picture of the leaning tree from early January/11:
