These trees hold some leaves until summer, dropping leaves all winter. This marcescence discourages the feeding of large herbivores. We have lots of squirrels but no moose in the neighborhood. I referred to these as "neighbors" leaves when actually they are my leaves once they hit my property. Mulching creates free organic fertilizer. To all recipients of leaves from my 100' tulip poplar tree, your welcome.
Update, Jan 2021, The neighbor had his oak trees removed :( . www.flickr.com/photos/jmschneid/50837418713
I won't miss the leaves, I will miss the shade.

Snapper - Pagrus auratus (Forster, 1801) [more of this species]
Very similar to the Red Seabream (P. major) of the northern pacific. This species occurs south of the tropics. The are slight differences in the bump of the head, otherwise almost identical.
They can be identified by pinkish body with blue spots on the upper part of the body. The bottom most parts of the caudal, anal and ventral fins are white, the rest of those fins are transparent.

This silver and yellow fish is called the Yellowtail Snapper. It can easily be identified by a yellow stripe running down its side. The fish gets its name from that yellow tail you see, although the tail, as well as the stripe can sometimes be greenish in color. Although they are mostly tropical, they can be found as far south as Brazil, and as far north as Massachusetts. They are really abundant on the reef, and often seen by divers.

Welcome to my Flickr 365 Project! I’m calling it my 365 Species Project, because for each day of the year, I will post a photo of a different species of organism...
At the moment, I've fallen really far behind on my project. I know that some of you are quite disappointed, and that many others of you have simply lost interest. Well, I'm getting back to a lot more field work, which means a lot more opportunities to photograph new species. I've actually just gotten back from an awesome work trip to the Dry Tortugas with enough photos to get all caught up! So stay tuned!
So today is day #155 of 365, but this is just photo #111.
Red snapper fillet, dipped in egg and cream, dredged in some panko, and pan fried in olive oil with thyme flashed in at the end. Served with a mushroom and tarragon couscous.
Cali wreck in George Town harbor. I think this may be a large gray snapper. If so, this is probably the largest one I've seen.
Lots of pretty fish in the waters of the world. This one is called a Mutton Snapper. It was under the size limit of 12 inches, so got put back to grow.
