I visited the park last Wednesday, thinking that I would get ahead of the game and post a blog early. Did not happen as planned. Now it is Monday and I am finally getting around to it.
It was a very nice day at the park on Wednesday, however as usual I was the only one out in the cold. During previous visits I noticed that some of the trees had recently been cut down. I originally thought that someone may have been poaching them for firewood, but it appears that the city is weeding out some of the damaged trees. They had cut down several trees and dumped them in the parking lot in small enough pieces for someone to collect,apparently offering them to the public.
I notice a small flock of mallards swimming in the now thawed outfield of one of the baseball diamonds. I sited the first four legged creature, that I have seen in the park;a squirrel racing through the branches of the trees. I know it wasn't a rabbit, but it was encouraging.

Yep, not much wildlife to be found in this park. But what do we expect in the middle of a subdivision? I hope we can change parks later in the semester, maybe to something a little bigger.

We won't be changing parks, but this one is bigger than you think--70 acres--but to see what is there, I think we will have to venture beyond the pavement. Tim, this is an excellent post.
