There were hardly any trees in the yard 5 years ago when we bought this house in town. The following spring I brought in a 12"H. spruce from the woods and planted it in the front yard by the driveway. Last week end my grandson was out in the yard and saw a bird fly out of that tree. So we took a closer look and saw an empty bird nest. Today I walked over and I could see the bird looking at me from a small opening in the branches. She wouldn't let me get close enough to get her picture but there's a reason she's back. Funny how such a small start of a tree can be the habitat of wildlife so early in it's life.
