Nature Walk by the Reservoir on 6/08/2023

I decided to meet up with a friend and observe species surrounding the Reservoir, which is one of the closest and most scenic areas nearby. I walked around for about 45 minutes and observed the natural life by both the water and wooded area. The weather was sunny yet brisk and the water was calm. Not only was I able to find lichen, moss and microbial mats in both the water and on rocks/trees (which was related to the theme this week), but I also observed some animal wildlife like chipmunks and numerous species of birds. I noticed that it was quite a biodiverse environment, which is very important for maintaining a healthy ecosystem. The lichen I found was located on both rocks and trees, as well as the moss. The lichen and microbial mats are important observations because they demonstrate multilayered patches of microorganisms, which is relevant to this week's topic. I also took pictures of plants because the reading discussed the importance of the xylem, stomata and vascular/non-vascular plants. I took pictures of flowers because the Perusall reading discussed pollination and emphasized the relationship between pollinators and flower characteristics. I was, however, unsuccessful in finding any fungi. Maybe next time!
