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.

============================
A bedtime routine for my cousin and myself...
we visited each others homes back and forth a lot.
I am two years older than she is.
When very young, the “peep” usually came from
my cousin with the cry of “It was her (me)”!
