Hello Georgina3 and welcome to the Project Noah community!
Nice first spotting!
Project Noah is a tool for people to learn about wildlife, share wildlife spottings, build nature journals and engage in citizen science. Here you will find a friendly community of people passionate about wildlife and conservation.
We are thrilled for you to join Project Noah. We hope you enjoy our website and community as much as us! Enjoy yourself, learn, share and I will see you around :)
Thankyou for the ID - it has just led me to identify the tree as black cherry (Prunus serotina). I'm a recent landing in the USA to many of the native plants and trees are unfamiliar to me.
