That is just ridiculousToday consisted of rain, 30mph wind gusts, and dropping dead crispy cottonwood trees.
Still nicer than being stuck in an office.View attachment 55630View attachment 55631View attachment 55632last image is my throwline cube turning into a kite in a wind gust.

Hook one throwline to the cube and fly it like a kite to set another throwline.....
When it's that windy, I can't even get a throwbag to go where I want it, if it's over about 35 feet.

That was the last line that I was setting for the day, I came back the following day to finish the job. My first throw on that tree was caught by the wind and turned into a curveball, that was the first time I'd seen that happen.

Today: cut the sticks, pick up the sticks. Tomorrow: cut the sticks, pick up the sticks.

Everyday out in the field I am still amazed by trees , how resilient they are and some of the outcomes I find that go against what I believed. This maple had a weak flaw maybe 20 feet up that you see in pic 1 and then pic 2 shows how much solid tree was above it. The part that was a learning experience was that when we felled the trunk the "good" side was what cracked as seen in pic 3.

Retrieving a radio collar from a topped snag yesterday. Bark was peeling off the trunk so I had to double-crotch down onto the snag from two adjacent doug-firs. Found the radio collar between the trunk and peeling bark (second photo). Beautiful day in the mountains.

Today was a gnarly, rotten, mushroom loving sugar maple removal with yucky inclusions. Bluestone patio underneath. Wish I had some good close up shots. Dicey
Love working in the cooler weather

What was the collar for?

It was a neck collar on a Spotted Skunk. The grad student who is doing the study suspects that the skunk was killed by a great-horned owl or barred owl and hauled up to the top of the snag and eaten there. The transmitter got dropped and fell into the crack between the trunk and peeling bark.
