I observed a squirrel eating an oak/nut, a bird eating an unidentifiable object from a tree, and a bee pollinating a flower.

The effects of spring are very apparent on the southwest side of campus. There are many vibrant flowering plants. In the grass, one can notice the blooming of smaller flowering plants. Also, there seem to be more insects around the plants.

My observations include the following: a plant with regular flowers, a plant with irregular flowers, a monocot, a dicot, a plant in the pea family, a a gymnosperm, a terrestrial plant that is not a seed plant, a plant with pinnate leaves, a plant with opposite leaves, and a plant in the sunflower family.

For the "Tree of Life Exercise" I observed the following five iconic taxa:
Image of mushroom is part of fungi family
The tree represents part of the plant family
The common earthworm is part of the animal family
The wild turkeys are part of the bird family
The California banana slug is part of the mollusk family

For the "Phenology Exercise" I observed a flowering plant. The flowering plant displayed flowering phenology as it had both already blossomed flowers on one side and non-blossomed flowers on the other.
