Roger, so delightful to see this flame in action. Thank you for sharing!
The cherry tree would be so appropriate to keep it there. Located in by back yard is a similar tree and when the cherries turn red I often see the flame moving to it. When I was a youngster my mother delighted me by showing me a hanging nest in a Virginia Beauty apple tree in the yard. She knew and told me it was an oriole's nest. After that once in a while one could be seen perched in a tree preening. Magnificent bird. Tess Cumbie Buladean, NC Mitchell County Elizabethton, TN Birding Club. thelmahughescumbie@trconline.net
