Hope all is well come tapping season.
Yes I have noticed it on my trees. Canopies are thin and sparse. No Gypsy Moths to be found. When GM's are bad you can hear the poop snap when it hits the forest floor. No snaps what so ever.
Looks like the leaf count is lower then normal on the canopies. Not so much they have been eaten but more the leaves are just not their.
If you think it's easy to make good money in maple syrup .... then your obviously good at stealing somebody's Maple Syrup.
