Trees

Tim and I added 29 trees to the database today and corrected five other spp. I.D. Added first sycamore in the Woods. We worked from the West Wash west and south using the Trans OWP trail as our south boundary. Many more to do; but we made great progress today. Tim spotted small group of deer in SE. Warm day (low 60's). Noticed walnuts bleeding watery sap by the tag nail wound. Tim commented that warming and rising sap in winter placed trees in danger of frost damage when sap freezes and damages tissue under the bark. Leaving the Woods, we found Claire and Hope by the E pond watching Claire's feeder in hopes of catching and banding titmice.
