Today on my day off I decided I wanted to go for a walk. I hadn't been on a walk for a while in Mark S Burnham so I decided to go there and it did not disappoint. At the park, I was able to see a number of different species and enjoy my walk all without getting eaten alive by bugs. In the first photo, I had stumbled upon my second eastern garter snake of that day. I was unable to get a photo of the first snake I had seen, however, I was able to with this one before it disappeared under a log. The second photo in this post is of a rather odd tree in my opinion. The whole top of the tree is gone and only two or four branches remain on the entire tree. I had just taken this photo as I thought it was a cool tree but when I looked at it later, the light was amazing. The third photo is of one of the many wood frogs that I had found well walking around they would just hop out of the way from my path and then disappear back into the leaves with their camouflage. The last three photos in this post are of a pair of hairy woodpeckers. I had stopped as I heard a sound and was looking around for the bird that had made it when one of the woodpeckers appeared so I started snapping photos of it. The second one appeared soon after that and came to the same tree the first one was on before flying away. These two woodpeckers then continued to jump around and what looked like dancing for a couple of minutes well I watched. While this was happening I also noticed a hummingbird of some kind sitting just above me watching what was going on as well.
My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.
