Nature Walk: September 20-27; Webster Conservation Area
For this second nature walk, I decided to get further away from campus and walk around the Webster Conservation Area. It was nice to walk around a place where it seemed like I was the only person there (apart from the sounds of the T going by and the cars on nearby Hammond Pond Parkway). With Fall starting, there were plenty of leaves on the ground and some in the trees were beginning to change. For the majority of my walk there, I didn't see much, so I just took some pictures of what I believe to be American Witch-Hazel, Common Bracken, and Eastern White Pine. I also took a picture of fly that had seemingly been buzzing around me since I got there. I heard birds chirping for the duration of time that I was there, and was desperate to snag a picture of one. This proved frustrating, as I could hear them high up in the canopy but could not see themselves myself. Luckily, I spotted a squirrel in the corner of my eye, and quickly took a picture of it, fulfilling my wish to have a vertebrate in this entry. The weather was overcast, windy, but pretty humid, with the temperature probably hovering around the low- to mid-70s.
