Just a few critters seen during an afternoon walk in Nashville's Centennial park.
The Daily Bucket is a regular series from the Backyard Science group. Here we talk about Mother Nature in all her glory, especially the parts that live nearby. So let us know (as close as you are comfortable) where you are and what's going on around you. What's the weather like? Seen any interesting plants, bugs or critters? Are there birds at your feeders? Deer, foxes or peahens in your yard? Seen any cool rocks or geological features? Post your observations and notes here. And photos. We like lots of photos. :)
The pond at the park
Canada Goose eyeing me with bad intent
Red Eared Sliders. I think these are native to Tennessee
American Coot
A pair of Mallards
Sycamore tree--the white underbark IDs it as the American species rather than the yellow-barked imported European species
A nice-looking Weeping Willow
And now it's your turn--what's up in your neck of the woods? :)
