The tree that we observed was found in Lucy's backyard. Lucy's pear tree is in Northlake which is near O'hare Airport. The tree has evidence of being a home to insects. One can notice this from the insect trail on the bark, and also a hole in the middle of the truck. Woodpeckers have chewed at the bark as a means to eat insects inside the trunk. A layer of moss has attached to the trunks of the tree. In addition, there are fruit buds beginning to form on 
some of the branches. 
Daily, the tree is home to squirrels. The location of the tree is ideal for animals because there isn't much traffic in the backyard and, isn't surrounded by sidewalks. Autumn hasn't taken a toll on the tree yet. It still has it's green leaves. On our tree we found 5 pieces of evidence of resource partioning: insects, moss, a woodpecker, leaves, and squirrels.
