During the City Nature Challenge, I ended up exploring parts of Centennial Woods, and then walked down to Trinity to observe wildlife across campus. I also ended up heading home for part of the weekend and observed more species that were out and about in Eastern Massachusetts. While I was still in the Vermont area, I noted a lot of birds although I was not able to photograph all of them. I observed seagulls, robins, a cardinal, and a couple pileated woodpeckers. I noticed different buds on maple trees growing and cherry trees starting to bloom back home. It was a little difficult to distinguish animal tracks in the mud since there were many dog walkers out in the nice weather, but I noted a few squirrels and chipmunks. iNaturalist was a little difficult to use but it was cool to look at the other cities. I looked at some places outside the US such as Sydney Australia and learned a bit about some of the species there that are quite different from the ones we observed.
