Geog-171-2014 Homework #2
I took a walk up to Lake Temescal this afternoon where I observed several species of birds, these included a Mallard, and American Coot and a Double Breasted Cormorant, I also saw an Egret but it was too far away to take a worthwhile picture. I also saw a Fox Squirrel, but when I tried to identify it more precisely I could not tell the difference between the different species of Fox Squirrels. Finally I saw a quite a number of small, flowering plants with pink/purple flowers, I couldn't find an precise identification for these. Essentially, the three iconic taxa I observed were birds, animals and plants.
