There was some snow on the ground from the recent snowfall. I went in through the trail in the Westmount Road sign, away from the more popular part of the park. As I walked, I could somewhat hear the water of the creek flow and some birds singing. As of late, I have been seeing a lot of cardinals around campus, and I saw a few around the trees and on their branches, feeding on some berries. Like all other outings, brown and black squirrels, as well as chipmunk were the stars of the nature walk. That entrance of the park has quite a contrast, with the left side being denser forest, and the right side all lawn. Some of the trees I saw were maple, some pines, birch, and trembling aspen but it is hard to tell without their leaves on for proper IDing. As well, there were a ton of bushes along the trail. It was quite a nice walk as it was pretty empty because of the time of the day. As I got closer to the parking lots and the lawn area, I saw what the remains of most likely goldenrod were. In that side of the park, I saw some crows which I constantly also see from my bus stop.
