Day 277 - a Year by the Sea
October 5, 2007 by OrientSee.
No, this isn’t some one’s dirty wash. It’s bark hanging from a snag out in the thicket. As the bark slips off the dead limbs, it sometimes hangs on or gets hung up in a limb crotch. Then the wind seems to shred it. That’s one explanation. The other is that birds are helping themselves to this marvelous nest building material. I’m inclined to think that it is both things at work here although I have never seen a bird making off with the bark fibers. I have seen birds tearing off branches from this tree for nests. This particular snag is a favorite roosting place for all kinds of birds including hawks. Today the wind swung around to the southeast and favored us with a cooling sea breeze that I deeply appreciated. This warm weather is too much for polar bear like myself but it has been a beautiful day. Enjoy!
Ciao!
