I'm a little surprised I haven't posted any pictures of Blue Jays here until now -- they're constantly around our house and are quite fun to look at, even from far away. It's nice to stop and appreciate the really common creatures every once in a while. Stay warm, Blue Jay!
(And yes, after looking at the myriad hearts-in-nature pictures that have been scattered all over the internet today, I can't help seeing a heart shape in this bird's chest. So... happy Valentine's Day?)
I would definitely say that's a tamarack.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks Rebecca! I've been wondering about that tree for a while now -- it's growing at the fence between two yards, and it's pretty big (a little taller than the maple trees next to it). I didn't know whether people sometimes planted tamaracks in their yards, but I guess they do! Unless it could be another type of (non-native) larch?
