This Lichen was found on a tree at Lettuce Lake Park by the visitors center. I am unsure about what type of Lichen this is. It was white in color and looked like a second bark on the tree.

This is an angiosperm called Bidens Alba. This photo was taken on a sunny day in the wooded area next to my house. The Bidens alba is a wild flower that many consider a weed. This flower has white petals with the center of the flower being yellow due to the pollen. My mother helped me identify the plant because she is a botanist.

Paloma Doméstica (Columba livia var. domestica)Autor
samuel_k_12Descripción
The bird was about a foot tall. I believe this bird is a male due to the strong iridescence on its neck. The bird also has two black lines along its wings. One defining characteristic was the raised white spot in the birds beak. I used the website https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rock_Pigeon/id to help identify what kind of bird it was. It was in a disturbed habitat by Lake Okeechobee.
