header:
Time & Date: 19/12/4; 14:00
Duration: 30 mins
Location: Annedale Park, ON
Weather: Cloudy, 0 degrees, little wind, snow-covered
Habitat: Forest.
Vegetation: pine, maple, oak, cedar .
Narrative:
In this location, the Parks is surrounded by different neighborhoods, and the park is relatively isolated compared to other parks, there are few trails that lead to the insider of the forest. I found a brown fox in the forest which is hard to take a photo because it runs away quickly, it may eat small birds such as house sparrow in that area. Squirrels can also be found in this area, and they may eat the seed of conifers. there is evidence of Dryocopus which eats the insect from bark, but the bird is not found. There is a creek in that ecosystem to provide water, but it is far away from the part I am visiting since more trails are not accessible due to snow. there is a Hawk flying on the sky which lives there all year long, it may find small mammals and birds to eat. This ecosystem is less influenced by humans compared to the previous ones because it is hard to walk inside the park followed by the trails. the ecosystem is different from High Park because there are only forests without grasslands, so fox might be easy to hide in the forest. There are many kinds of grass species, but hard to ID due to the snow.
