Re: the black bands, the height looks about right for gypsy moths. Wikipedia says they were introduced in Massachusetts in 1868 and spread throughout the Northeast. Ontario also had them. So, it very well could be. Those look like hardwood trees, too.

I agree. The black bands were meant to fight Gypsy moth infestation. We had them here about forty years ago. They're gone, but now we have Stink Bugs, Lantern Flies and who knows what else may be coming down the pike ?
