Maple tree helicopters – whirligigs

It’s the time of year for Maple trees to put on their wonderful flying seeds: helicopters, whirligigs or other fun names!

March 28th

It is now two weeks later, April 11th

Soon there will be thousands of whirligigs on the ground, and, yes, filling the gutters and downspouts. Spring is here in Indiana.
