In Strawberry Creek, down the dirt trail off of Centennial Drive, I walked down the the trail next to the plants with thin stems and cotton-like stuff coming from the bulbs, there was some scat on the right side of the trail. It appeared to be around 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. There were a lot of brown seeds that almost looked like peanuts. It was very dark brown, almost black. It was definitely not dog scat, but I was unsure which animal it could have been from.

I walked down the dirt path off of Centennial Drive in Strawberry Creek. After going slightly down a hill, on the right side of the path, in the shade up against the hill, there was a bush a couple feet tall with red and black berries. The leaves were rounder with lots of small brown berries, many red berries, and a few black ones. There were several of these plants with the berries growing primarily toward the bottom.

I walked down the path starting off of Centennial Dr into Strawberry Creek. The dirt path goes slightly down and on both sides of the path there were these tall, brown plants with thin stems about 5 feet tall. Closer to the entrance of the path, the group of plants were dried, brown, and dead looking. Further down in the shade, the plants were green with pinecone like bulbs with a fluffy cotton-like substance emerging. They also had light purple flowers.
