Mine are all gone. You are giving them what they need. Is your tree a crab apple?

Mostly they hang on, the green getting dull and a little yellow and brown coming in, then with the first stiff winter wind, they all hit the ground. It never <I>looks</I> like autumn here. So, thanks again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>A quick bird question before I go: In the 9 yrs. I've lived here I've hardly seen any Robins, thought they didn't like it here. Arbor Day I planted a tree in the back yard, and dug a 'moat' around it, which my leaky hose keeps full of water, and you know how the neighborhood birds are about that, right? Last couple of weeks, the moat has been <I>overrun</I> with Robins. Up to 20 at a time! Have they been here all along and just revealed themselves for the water? Climate change making them act different? Typical Robin behaviour???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654020634443647939.post-46496698350947692972008-10-21T15:47:00.000-05:002008-10-21T15:47:00.000-05:00Yes, the leaves in #2 are poison ivy leaves.

There are a few fall foliage tours, but we are far enough away from any major metropolitan area traffic congestion is, thankfully, not a problem.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374936227735741953noreply@blogger.com
