Hm, Carol,
I've wondered the last 2 or 3 yrs. why narrow strips of bark have been
peeled from a cedar tree. Didn't look like where a deer
had rubbed its antlers on the tree yrs. ago. I noticed the missing bark
when I went to get thin strips of bark for our son when he
was here teaching some people survival techniques including how to start
fires. Thanks for the heads up!

A starling was peeling bark off my River Birch. I assume it was for
nesting material. I've watched birds gather many nesting materials but
never peeling bark.
