Nature Walk 11-3
This was the most difficult nature walk I have been on. I walked around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir in the afternoon. The weather was really nice and a lot of people were walking outside. It was in the 60s and there were leaves all over the path. It was extremely hard to find animals, and even when I did find them, they would often move and I would either not get a good picture or not get a picture of them at all. I found a lot of flies, but they were so small that they did not always appear on camera, and they were also very easy to lose track of. The animal I found the easiest to take pictures of was birds. Birds did not move as much and they were bigger so I found more success taking photos of them. I notice that there is a large diversity of animals around the reservoir. They do a really good job of hiding, which makes it much harder for them to be hunted. Something that separates animals from other organisms is that they are able to freely move, which definitely made locating them much harder. Although we learned in class that there are the most insects out of any animal species, I still had trouble finding them since so many of them are very small. I noticed that since it was fall, there were less animals than there would be in the summer when it is typically warmer. Overall, animals are much more difficult to take pictures of because they are able to freely move, but they are also much more interesting to observe than other species that only change gradually.
