Explore hundreds of acres of woods, fields, streams, and marsh. Interpretive signs and kiosks will guide you along the many trails. Look for 78 different species of butterflies
In two of my latest posts I featured a few butterflies and bugs
Having Fun with my Panasonic Lumix
Jeff and I walked about four miles taking various trails.
There are maps of the trails offered as you enter the Center.
This is a small nature play area.
The paths are mostly wooded and it’s a fairly easy walk.
A small brook runs thru
This looks like some type of Agaricus Mushroom
onotropa uniflora, also known as the Ghost Plant, Indian Pipe, or Corpse Plant
I have no idea what this tiny little mushroom is.
What do you do when you see a tree with a hole in it?
We had a a small list of birds seen and heard this day..
They do offer a bird checklist online.
Cedar Waxwings hanging out.
This path follows a small stream
A snake along the side of the stream
What kind?
A pleasant walk back into the woods
Much of the area is wetlands..
be sure to wear your bug spray..
Lots of mosquitos..
Gooseberry?
The center had these pages from a book along the path..
A Place for Birds
by Melissa Stewart
My photos didn’t come out well..too much reflection.
This clearly written, richly illustrated introduction to birds and ecology describes the beauty and behavior of birds as well as some of the ways people are protecting birds and their habitats. Pointers on how youngsters can help birds in their own neighborhood are included.
From what I saw it is a book that belongs on every child's book shelf.
It shows the connection between Man,environment and nature and how we can negatively impact or help nature.
Its been very busy with family and Wedding planning…
Hope to get out and take more photos soon.
