Snow Dome?

Spotted this snow dome across the harvest block.

The top of this balsam fir has this pile of snow supported on the top. I am guessing the top is broken off. The tree was a little to big to shake the dome of to see why it stuck there.

Monarchs in Mexico recovering

Good news for the butterflies

Plant milkweed will continue to help.
