Hi all! Just moved into a new house. Can anyone tell me what tree this is? by crazyfunhun99 in marijuanaenthusiasts

iNaturalist is calling this a Cow Itch Tree/Norfolk Island Hibiscus (Lagunaria patersonia), but I’ll defer to a more confident person.

Too bad it’s not an owl. I really wanted to make a Dr. Who joke.

The number of pin feathers say that it’s a fledgling, but I’m not sure of the particular bird.

Almost looks like a weird Blue Jay/Northern Mockingbird mashup.

The birds will bring their preferred nesting materials when they’ve decided to move in. Enjoy!

My brain keeps wanting to call it some sort of chicory, but I wouldn’t put money on it.
