My husband can do the same thing. In fact it's a rather tedious adventure when we enter the forest or an unfinished furniture shop. ggg

I took a train trip at night when I was in college taking dendrology, and I found that I could identify tree species at night with only the barest outline. It is much easier to identify trees when there are only a few species and you see the same ones every day. When I got my first job in Ohio I rued my C grade in hardwood dendrology, because trees there often hybridize between northern and southern hardwood species, and there are many species in each genus. I went from six genera, each of which had one species or only a few to dozens of genera each of which had many species. I'm pretty sure I got some wrong. I could never be sure if I was looking at a scarlet oak or a red oak.
