Signs of Spring....
As soon as the nice weather arrives, so do the snippers, chippers and chainsaws. I know they are just trying to make a buck, but they're noisy bastards.
Around here (Bay Area,CA) they show up in droves for winter. All these non-native trees just crack and shatter in the first winds and rains. Also there are lots of 40 year old housing developments with shallow rooted trees that were moved in as mature trees when they communities were built. One good soaking and they lift right out of the ground.
Tree surgery is a winter emergency clean up, not a spring prep.
Damn Ray

Eh? Whazzat you say? I can't hear you for these soundproof earmuffs...
