We check in on our year-long project #BLTrees, following the seasons through the trees around us with Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week. This month, with peak bird migration in process, Desiree Narango, a conservation scientist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst working in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service, explains the important link between native trees to caterpillars to birds.

Hello, gorgeous! The leaves on my pin oak are finally out, but still bright green & not at full size. But before leaves came the flowers. These pendulous strands are male🌸- no petals means improved wind pollination. Female flwrs become acorns. Itchy eyes? Thank an oak #BLTrees https://t.co/bUjRydoqQL pic.twitter.com/mLjoOwbRvv
