For the extra credit, I decided to do assignment No. 2 for Homework 8 this week. I found seven (7) observations at and around the sight of my moist evergreen forest assignment (homework 3) and my chaparral hike to see how things have changed.
There was a lot of change near the moist evergreen. my favorite part was this plant, like a coniferous plant, that had these new lighter green tips on each of the leaves. I thought that was really cool, and maybe an example of spring regrowth or something.
However, the big trees like the pines and redwoods didn't really seem different, i guess because they're deciduous so therefore have leaves year-round.
Similarly, the chaparral seemed very much the same as well. At least, more the brush plants. There were a few plants (like this one with red leaves/flowers) that obviously showed signs of spring regrowth.
finally, i walked around campus a bit just to snap pictures of plants that were clearly in the midst of spring flowering. just to see a difference between the mostly barren campus of winter and this new one in spring.
this bird had a dark (black) head and a tan body with white strips on each of its wings, toward the inside.
have been seeing a lot of these small birds on campus in the last few days.
saw this plant that had red leaves/flowers on campus.
saw this example of an unchanged chaparral on campus
saw this example of an oak tree (not sure exactly what kind) on campus.
saw this example of white flowering plant on campus.
saw this example of a pine/coniferous type plant with new leaves extending at the top of old. a sign of regrowth in spring?
