Hello,

As the sentence says, "Tornadoes bring stories of strange phenomena--flocks of dead birds dropping out of the sky, chickens still alive but with all of their feathers gone, pieces of straw stuck in trees."

Should it be "pieces of straw stuck in trees" or "pieces of straw sticking in trees"?

Thanks for your help!!
