    I was walking through the woods next to my house yesterday when I came to this huge dead standing tree, PERFECT for firewood!! But before I started cutting it down, I noticed this Falcon nesting in it.

    Those of you old enough to remember what a Falcon looks like will quickly recognize it!!

    Should I cut it down???

    Just how the heck did they get that Ford up in the tree anyway? Great treehouse for the kids... complete with AM radio!

    Got me, but it kinda reminds me of the old thread on the old site with the tire in the tree. I still can't figure out how that tire ended up around a main branch/shoot of that tree!!
