First Nature Walk
For my nature walk, I travelled to Stoneham and walked on a trail that edges the Unicorn Golf Course. The trail was very scenic and wooded and I saw many different species of plants and animals along the way. On my walk the weather was slightly chilled, but still seasonal at about 60-65 degrees and partly cloudy. It was also pretty windy that day as well. Along the walk I saw various different types of plants (some of which I have linked to this post). In particular, I noticed that the red tinted plant (linked as an observation), has a tendency to only grow in places where there was little to no shade. I found this interesting and thought about how it probably related to our evolutionary unit because these plants select an unshaded environment as preferable to shaded. Also on my walk, but not linked as an observation, I saw many different types of squirrels. The squirrels varied in color and size. Their differences made me reflect on what modes of speciation were pulling on each individual that would cause them to have different colors. Also, if the black squirrels were more advantageous then grey squirrels in that area because there were so many more of them. Overall, I thought about many topics covered in class and am looking forward to the next nature walk.
