Insect Trails
January 6, 2012 on the nature trail we found insect trails. It might have been from carpenter ants or termites. We could not find the bark that was on the tree. The insects might have ate it.
Crystal
On January 6, 2012 I found an ice crystal. This ice crystal is formed on moss. When the moss is wet and the air is cold the moss will stick up and turn into an ice crystal. I found more ice in a stream – it had a crack.
crow
Crows live in places like treetops, fields and roadsides. They eat things mostly on the ground like earthworms and other insects. Their wings open up like fingers. Crows usually hang out at the tops of trees.
Winter on the Trail
With ice storms, snowstorms and school closings, it has been difficult to get out on the trail. This is how the beginning of the trail looked after a recent snowstorm. I hope to get the students out soon to get more winter photos. We’ll need to don snowpants and boots to wade down the trail!
