Chestnut Hill Reservoir Walk

I walked around the res. for about an hour. It was chilly and cloudy out today, with the sun only shining through for a few moments. During my walk, I was really focused on finding smaller species on the outer edges of the trail. I noticed that there is high evenness of species around the reservoir. There was not really any one species that dominated the entire area--the species were pretty spread out overall. I would also note that these plants are all still alive even during the colder temperatures in the fall. They have adapted to be able to survive in colder weather like this. I also came across two swans during my walk.
