The Beech Tree

A beech tree is just a beech tree for many people. As for me, beech tree is unique. In winter its dead leaves are the only deciduous leaves that still cling on to branches. Big beech trees are also a good place to look for signs of wildlife, such as these claw prints left by a nice size black bear. The claw prints are not from this year, because the claw wounds have been healed. Black bear climbs beech tree to eat nuts for its valuable energy.
