More pictures from Olmsted Park

I found urban wildlife before I even left to go to the field site:


English garden snail on my bike.


Spring Pond.


Unknown purple mushroom.


A class does some of their own fieldwork, at Ward's Pond.


I flipped over a piece of cardboard to discover...


Dozens of tiny snails.




An odd picture of an eastern cottontail. It's sitting up, alertly watching me as I take a flash picture.


I moved a soggy old denim jacket to find it riddled with insect larvae.


An unusually large millipede for our area. (about 2.5 cm)

indeed, i do ♥ those snails. are the little ones the same kind as the intrepid one on your bike?

Nope, I haven't identified the little ones, but I think they are our native woodland snails.

you are so lucky ... we really dont have snails where i live... well we do but none nearly as impressive as the one on your bike.

Oh man cool pics...that is such a cute little millipede! I like em big though, like the ones I found in San Diego...;)

Hooray for snails! There are a lot of snails in my neighborhood, though it seems like less than last year.
