The Field Ecosystem

I personally love fields and all that they have to offer. Fields provide for shelter for insects, and those insects then attract birds. Quite often you will see deer playing and eating in fields as well. There is so much biodiversity in a field ecosystem. Below are pictures I took of a goldfinch, a praying mantis, and a field at Garnsey Park.

Bluebird house at Garnsey Park

Earlier this summer the town was given five bluebird houses from a local girl scout troop and one bird house from a town citizen. I was given the honors of picking where they would go and setting them up. Go check them out! The bird house given from the town local was put in the front field of the park, and is visible from the road (Route 146). Most of the bluebird houses are in fields that are easily found if you bear right after entering the park. Two more bluebird houses are located if you go straight (instead of right) where the path splits. Right next to the bluebird houses is a large blackberry field, where you can pick wild berries.

Veterans Memorial Park

Just yesterday morning, Jen and I went for a walk at Veterans Park to mark a trail to the newly obtained forest. I personally love all that the new forest has to offer its visitors. There is so much wildlife there. The first time I visited the forest with Jen we had a run in with a white tailed deer (who appear to be everywhere in the park), as well as many snakes, toads, salamanders, and frogs. Follow the yellow and green signs to the new forest.
