Baldwin Apple History and Night Birds Noted
The Baldwin apple traces to a 1740s seedling on Jol Ball’s Wilmington farm near Lowell Massachusetts. It spread after Colonel Baldwin popularized it in eastern Massachusetts by 1784, with a monument marking the original tree site. Night birds like nighthawks kill insects at night, feeding on large swarms as swallows and swifts fly.
