Walk around Boston College (Pine Tree Reserve, Chestnut Hill Reservoir, Chandler's Pond, Evergreen Cemetery)

On Tuesday, 14th of July, I walked around Boston College for around 1.5 hours where I came across many different species of plants and even a few animals. The weather that day was very sunny and not windy at all. I started off at the Pine Tree Reserve and was actually quite surprised that there were a few species of flowers present as well. I had never went in the Reserve and always assumed that there would only be pine trees present. After that, I walked around a section of Chestnut Hill Reservoir adjacent to the Pine Tree Reserve and saw a few other plants. I didn't really stay long there and proceeded to walk towards Chandler's Pond where I came across a few trails and the Evergreen Cemetery. I was excited to see a robin and a chipmunk there as well as other flowers. This was also where I found most of my observations. Lastly, when I reached Chandler's Pond, I sat on a bench for a few minutes just enjoying the view. I came across a goose which was quite cool. I assumed that it would run away if there were people too close to it but it surprisingly was very calm and minded its own business. Overall I enjoyed this walk very much. I got to see many different plants and a few animals as well which was a bonus point!

One thing I would like to note is that I just discovered the feature where people can actually comment on your observations and suggest the correct name of the organism. I accidentally misnamed a few of my observations and am very grateful to the people who pointed them out and allowed me to change my labels.
