Birches New Hampshire wood ducksBoth paper birch (white birch) and gray birch are common across New England forests. I encountered these at Fox State Forest. Their pale trunks stand out in winter, when leaves are gone and structure becomes more apparent. Birch trees are frequently used by yellow bellied sapsuckers, which drill distinctive rows of sap wells into the bark. 20x20" Original Artwork on Cradled Board w Wood Floater Frame
