The vegetation had improved in the passed days. The grass is getting darker green so are the leaves on some flowers. What i haven't seen so much is improvement in the willows, they were getting some leaves but now i don't see any at all. The birds in the area are getting more food like worms and i am starting to see more flies around. Some insects I've seen are lady bugs, crickets, moths and other bugs that fly that i cant identify. what i still want to see are big species like a deer or moose.The human activity is getting very often. every time i go there are people jogging on days like today, which is a problem for animals because they see activity and don't want to get close. I tried going off the trail and look for other activity of any kind, but every thing was the same. Birds in the site are still competing food. I saw two birds fighting to the death. My predictions are that the birds are going to stop competing for food in a few days because the worm population is growing rapidly. The activity of the squirrels that I've seen isn't as lively as the birds because the squirrels are always hiding in the trees, but i did manage to see about four. I did encounter what i think was a mole or a prairie dog some creature that dwells under ground. I am positive that in a few days the Willow trees are going to get leaves.
