Nature walk with Holly and Reba at Lone Star Lakes Park. Roughly 1 hour loop at a very slow pace.


Observations

We explored a trail the runs by the parks archery range and did not take any photos. We did hear the peckings of a woodpecker but were unable to spot or identify its species. Multiple song birds could be heard with a number of individual species calls but we did not attempt to spot or identify them either aside from the calls we already personally knew.

During hike we took a sample of Polystichum acrostichoides as well as a beautiful sample of a large Trametes versicolor.


Upon returning to the car we took the weather and while doing so a mating pair of Cardinalis cardinalis flew past and into a nearby Juniperus virginiana.


Personal Thoughts


Need to look up the calles of:

  • Melospiza melodia (Song Sparrow)

  • Thryothorus ludovicianus (Carolina Wren)

  • Setophaga dominica (Yellow Throated Worberler)

  • Turdus migratorius (American Robin)

  • Cardinalis cardinalis (American Cardinal)
