New Camera

 
This year the Winter White-tailed Eagle Feeding Ground Camera starts a little later than in previous years. The camera was installed on December 8, with the assistance of Tiit and Joosep, but we only managed to get the sound in working order in the new year, with the help of Beta Group.

You can recognise maples from their nicely regular crown structure. Many other trees aren’t built like that: some have an elongated crown, others seem to have been drawn out at the top, in some trees single branches bristle out from the outline.
So: the maple has a regular crown, just as if it had been clipped into shape.
Another good recognition mark is the stalks. At the tips of the branches even in winter the stalks of the seeds, the “maple noses”, hang on. It creates a strange impression, or as nature man Mats Kangur says: the branches of the tree seem to end in thin capillaries.

Younger maples are more difficult to identify from the crown structure – the trees aren’t “grown-up” yet, and so it is safer to learn to know maples in a winter forest from older trees
