ERS 346 Outing #3

19/11/21
1130-1200
30 min
Clair Lake Park
Overcast and a little windy, 0C.
Lawn park with woody edges

Compared to the other outings, and due to the time of year, location and weather, very few living things were seen. The park is surrounded by urban development so only small mammals and birds have easy access to it. The fragmentation of the habitat is too much for larger mammals to make their way to the park without walking in roads and people’s property. Some black squirrel and chipmunks were seen, probably looking for some food. Some of the trees were a few willows by the pond, as well as some maple, pine, and birch. There was a lot of bird singing, but since the trees were pretty tall, I could not make them out. The squirrels and chipmunks were likely collecting food or hiding it for the winter as they hibernate and occasionally leave their homes to look for food that they have hid the fall previous. There were a few birds at, but they were in seen but could be heard. Because of the time of the year, there were no flowers in sights. As well, I was expecting to see some geese in the pond but surprisingly there was none.
