Pictured above is an aerial view map of Redstone Quarry.
As we start approaching cooler fall days and colder nights changes are going to occur at the Redstone Quarry, and there have already been a few changes present to the area. At my last visit most all of the trees had their leaves and had changed colors from green to bright, vibrant, yellows, oranges, and reds, this time some trees had dropped some leaves. Another aspect of the vegetation such as the grass was still very green. Many of the wildflowers that were observed last time were still in bloom for the most part, but once the temperature starts dipping lower, soon enough they will die off due to the cold weather.
It is evident that there is wildlife at my location, both terrestrial wildlife and aquatic wildlife. The pond is a great place for the toads and frogs that live in this area to bury themselves in the deep mud for the winter months. There were a few small minos swimming in the pond and possibly tadpoles as well. Along with aquatic life using my place as a habitat the terrestrial wildlife that is using it as well are red squirrels, chipmunks, and various bird species, such as the American robin and American crow as well. The birds and red squirrels primarily use the trees in the area for their nests and some trees for food. The chipmunks and squirrels also eat and forage berries and nuts that can be found in the area, along with eating small insects. All of the wildlife co-exists with each other and the ecosystem that they are part of.
