I have only been to Hammo once, so can’t give you any direct ID, however there is a pretty good plant ID app. It is called PlantNet. I have used it to identify any number of trees (and other plants). You take a photo and then tell it to ID it by one of any number of characteristics, including bark, leaf, flower, etc.

Currently, there is a large, but aging, blossoming tree on the right side of the very end loop on Willard Island (as Willard was an orchard during Colonial times) that attracts many orioles and migrants in the spring. There is also a large aging blossoming tree between Meigs Point parking and Meigs platform that also attracts many birds. If you know the specific species of either tree, please write me privately. Also, if you know of any other species of tree that is a bird magnet and can thrive in a seaside environment, please write me as well. Many thanks.
