WIRM: Your tree is being weakened and made more likely to blow down in a storm. It is not a parasite, but it does block the sun and increases wind's potential to damage your tree.
Another favorite is Mistletoe, and it is a true parasite! If you see big clumps in it your trees after the leaves fall off, birds may rejoice for the food source, but it is draining nutrients from the host tree.
