Dike 14 Nature Preserve
October 5, 2008
Report | Pictures |
Cool, sunny skies greeted 10 birders at Dike 14 on Sunday October 5, 2008. We spotted 49 species, including 8 warblers. Birds abound along the fences and in the Gordon Park picnic areas as well as in the nature preserve. Leader Nancy Howell turned over a snake-observation mat to reveal the snake's pantry: a cricket and the nest of a meadow vole. The giant goldenrod is fading, but still attacts bees and several species of butterfly.
