Sanctuary

    In the early morning there are always several birds trying to keep warm in the tree's branches. I can't observe them much since they always fly away as soon as I approach. In the afternoon when I have observed the tree there are at most one or two birds resting on the branches. One day I was up early so I decided to do my daily observation while the sun was just starting to rise. As soon as I approached the tree at least seven birds flew away from the tree. This tree is the night time sanctuary for these animals, home for these animals is wherever they are able to sleep at night and build their nests, even though they haven't made nest in this particular tree, it's kind of like an apartment for them.When the tree does produce nectarines in the summer, there is always the left overs of the fruit on the ground that the ravenous birds picked apart. In the summer this tree is a food source for the birds and a sanctuary during the fall.
