Green is finally coming back!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For this assignment, I biked along the path near past the golf course down Spear Street. I went until I found a small bridge, and decided to explore underneath it. It was the nicest day of the week so was great to explore a new area in Burlington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the bridge, there was a small stream that was surrounded primarily Eastern White Pine, Hemlock, and a few Yellow Birch. There were many ferns close to the water as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using iNaturalist for this assignment was great because I did not know many of the species I was seeing, so I could upload them for others to accurately identify! I was surprised by the variety of mammals and birds my peers saw at their locations. I did not even see a squirrel here, but the lack of wildlife may be due to the fact that this was close to a noisy road, in between a neighborhood, and gets a lot of human traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were many water striders but not many insects other than that. I saw what I thought were fiddleheads and then realized they were too furry so must just be a type of fern. There was also a lot of fungi around which makes sense considering the surrounding moist area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best part about going to this location was that the UVM dairy barn was on the way! My friend and I stopped to give the cows some love and I got bathed by one of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
