Mountain ash side by side, one set of trees regressed back and the hybrid still bears fruit for the birds.

Hybrid berries on left, original tree fruit on right. The birds seem to enjoy the berries on the back to the original tree.

Smaller berries from the “original” tree. This tree is taller and the leaves and berries less dense, but the birds seem to enjoy it more than the hybrid trees.

The leaves and the berries of the more decorative hybrid Mountain Ash Tree. It is certainly a beautiful addition to the landscape.

The Mountain Ash trees are at the home of a friend of
mine. The trees have a lot of little bird feeders at the
base of the trees that are kept filled with peanuts and
sunflower seeds, a hummingbird feeder, two suet feeders
and a corn on the cob feeder make the birds and squirrels
happy.

Poets Rally,
We are blessed in Maine with some green trees … the evergreens….all year long. I love the coming fall season of colors changing and then the structure of the bare trees.
Thank you for your kind comments. Have a few more weeks of working without a break and then will be back to “normal” for writing and posting.
Peace,
Siggi in Downeast Maine

It’s adorable! To see little birds swooping in and squirrels scurrying around, a picture of food, fun and freedom. Nicely Siggi!
