Animal Sightings 4/13/21
During my April visit to Centennial Woods, there was clearly an increase in animal activity since my last visit in winter. There were lots of birds present; I was able to identify American Robins and Woodpeckers. The birds were very noisy, probably because it is the beginning of their mating season. In addition, I spotted a dam in the stream (pictured below), which shows that beavers are active again and making these dams. Insects were much more abundant as well; there were some flying around my ears and one that landed on my shoe. There were also many dogs present. I saw some walking around with their owners, and also was able to identify canine tracks in the mud. Both animal and human activity has increased in Centennial Woods since my last visit.
