Horton Hears a Who!

How cool is this?? We have this wacky tree in the backyard (which I believe may be in the Maple family)... it looks like sometime in its past it had a violent meeting with a bolt of lightening because it is very craggy and kind of gnarled at the top. It's also got a big hole in it. I love the tree, the Husband not so much. However, for the time being I think it gets a reprieve. We've heard an owl around these parts for years. I think we've finally found its nest!
