On our nature walk today we saw

• Red winged blackbirds
• Bluebirds
• Bat boxes
• Chimney Swifts
• Some sort of wetland swallow
• A goose one her nest
• A goose nest
• A gander defending his lady
• Beaver trees
• Beaver dams
• A frog
• A beaver
• Plovers
• Yellow swallowtail butterflies
• Wildflowers 
• A garter snake
• A marsh vole 

Yes! Quite the list and quite the walk. The park’s nature trail is well marked and has a boardwalk to stay out of the muck. Thank goodness, because the garter snake would have been stepped on…we were up above it, looking down. A great discovery!
