One of the highlights of our October 30th Norwood Park Natural History Day was the morning bird walk lead by Pete Givan and Carolyn Peirce. Along with bird list, Pete has provided us with these beautiful pictures.
Benthic Macroinvertebrate
Sarah Morse
On Saturday, July 6, our stream team did the summer sampling for benthic macroinvertebrates in the Little Falls Creek. Planaria were the star of the show accounting for more than a third of the organisms we found. Small Minnow mayflies were also found in abundance. We found nine different species in all, giving the creek BIBI score of 2.1 which puts it in the very low Fair category.
