One aspect of a project in my outdoor ed class is to identify/compare the local flora and fauna in two designated areas. While I would consider myself very adept at identifying animals (particularly birds), I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about plants, so your help in identifying these species would be GREATLY appreciated: Picture 1- any plants in the foreground you can ID Picture 2- the tree harbouring the robin Picture 3- the mossy trunk More pictures coming.
Picture 4- the subject of the photo, no idea what this is Picture 5- the trees felled by the beaver, and the plant just to the left with the multiple brown "trunks" Picture 6- the tree harbouring the nest (with the dangling red parts)
Picture 7- anything you can ID besides the sumac Picture 8- the plant in the foreground with its petals returning Picture 9- the tree harbouring the junco
Picture 10- the tree harbouring the deteriorated nest Picture 11- the tree containing the song sparrow And that's the last of them! Thank you in advance for any input.
2 - Red Maple Acer rubrum 4 - Red-twig Dogwood Cornus sericea 6 - An alder Alnus 7 - A spruce Picea (far left) and some Eastern Juniper Juniperus virginiana (the other evergreen trees) 8 - Probably a Common Lilac Syringa vulgaris 11 - Probably another Red Maple
