Final Nature Walk on Newton

With the months growing ever colder, the last nature walk challenge of vertebrates became harder. Andy and I were walking towards Newton to go in the woods to search for animals when wild turkeys appeared. We took photos and hopped on the bus. We saw many different grey squirrels, but no muskrats, field mice, or other small rodents were around. We heard some birds chirping, but could never actually find them. The cold wind and dry air was tough to handle. Since I wanted to include vertebrates I saw while on nature walks, I also added the raccoon and rabbit photos I had from earlier. There were not many vertebrates out during the walk, but that could have been due to the cold weather forcing birds to migrate and mammals to change sleeping patterns. Overall, the nature walk was enjoyable and I will miss them next semester.
