Nature Walk: October 29-November 12: Chestnut Hill Reservoir
For this last nature walk, I decided to go back to where I first started, and went to the reservoir. Perhaps the most striking thing that I noticed was just how much colder it was compared to my first time walking around it; the temperature was hovering around the mid-40s with the wind taken into account, which I would guess was blowing at around 10 mph. Despite the wind and the cold, there was a good amount of activity going on, both in terms of people walking their dogs or exercising and animals that were out and about. In the reservoir itself, there was a wide variety of vertebrates that I noticed early on. There was the usual Canadian geese and mallards along with American coots and ruddy ducks, which I hadn't seen before. Walking around the reservoir further, it caught my attention that there was a good amount of squirrels staying in the foliage, and I managed to catch a picture of one before it ran off further into the trees.
