Most days I'm looking capture a shot of a finch or a hummingbird in the big tree in front of my house. This morning I awoke to see a city worker in a harness hacking away huge limbs of my tulip/magnolia tree. It was startling since we got no advance notice and I was concerned about the effect on my bird habitat. The noise and ruckus definitely scared off the birds and made my stomach churn. The tree was due for a trim-it's now half its size-but hopefully the habitat won't be disrupted for long.
