Mighty oak fall

It's a shame to lose these great oaks as they are high keystone species for birds that feed on caterpillar and insect variety.. but it is what it is..
This one fell in the south Midwood, a beast that took down a few other trees during Isaias wrath.

A heck of a job to clear the path and remove all brush. Hence this exhausting weeks long storm damage cleanup job during the peak summer makes it tough for me to get up Saturdays birding.

Support your park and we'll plant the future.

( The White Oak measured about 48 inches diameter. It must've attained close to 175 feet height)
