Default Mountain Cedar

Male cardinal in what appears to be a live oak, my guess of the attachment picture. Snow, so can't be local if recent picture.

From what I've seen, the juniper ashe (blueberry) tree pollenates in the mid-winter for about a month. Some people do develop some allergy tolerance for it. The rocky mountain version has red berries and does not reside in the TX hill country. "Mountain cedar" and "cedar" are common generic names for both trees.

Consider living in a controlled environment if one cannot deal with nature's way of multiplying.

How long does this stuff go on? So many people are bothered by it, some
even wearing masks outside.

And when it's done, is there some other allergen waiting in the wings?

On another note, I wish people would stop with the doggone spam posts.
