Chestnut Hill Fall Nature Walk: 10/21/2020

On Wednesday, October 21 I went for a nature walk at the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. After completing my first nature walk at the Res earlier in September, it was fascinating to come back and observe how the passing of seasons has affected the biodiversity. For example, I maple tree I took a photo of was a textbook example of the gradient of foliage in the fall: leaves going from light green to deep red. I was also able to make an observation of a bee landing on an Indian Blanket flower. This made me think about what we learned this week about the success of the insect group. The example also made me wonder what bees who pollinate flowers do in the winter seasons.
