Wildflower - Hawthorn

I started out turkey hunting this morning, but since the turkeys didn't get the memo on this morning's meeting, and were a "no show", I took my camera for a walk in the woods. From my turkey blind I could see a large hawthorn tree was starting to bloom.



The hawthorn trees, also known as a thornapple, are small shrub-like trees that produce a berry-like fruit that is a source of winter food for wildlife.



The hawthorn flowers are important for many nectar-feeding insects and may explain the hummingbird I saw at my turkey blind.
