Picão-Branco (Bidens alba)Observador
abeachyDescrição
Time: 4:06pm
This is a very common wildflower in Florida and elsewhere. It thrives about anywhere. This specific location had full sun, in a forest, hot, and humid. It has white petals, a yellow center, and does not get very tall. Even though they look like a weed, many bees were busy sucking nectar from this flower. It was located farther away from the lakes and more in the outskirts of heavily wooded areas.

This plant can survive in varying climates and conditions. This specific condition was full-sun, forested area, rainfall is the source of water, and humid. The environment was a forest area with a lake close-by. The animals and birds help for reproduction of this angiosperm. The purple berries on the plant make it easily identifiable.

I found this very common species in the forest of a park. This plant does not require an abundance of water. It does do well in heat and humid environments much like the one I found it in. This plant can exist in varying conditions. The purple berries on this plant made it easily identifiable.

Psychotria nervosaObservador
abeachyDescrição
Time: 3:45pm
This plant lives about 200 feet from water. It needs good drainage and can survive without a plethora of water.It was a hot day and very sunny. It was under taller trees and only got partial sun. There was apparent humidity as well. It was not very windy and there were scarce herbivore siting.
This plant was not very tall. Around the plant, I saw few small red berries. The wild coffee plant flowers in the spring/summer and then makes the red berries. This plant likes habitats such as coastal, rocklands, and dry hammocks.

Biguatinga (Anhinga anhinga)Observador
abeachyDescrição
Time: 3:55pm
I found the anhinga in a tropical climate near the water. It was a swampy lake with warm and humid weather. There were many trees and fallen branches for birds to dry out their wings or for others to sun bathe.
The bird I saw had mostly a black body. The tips of most feathers on the wings were colored white. Its' beak was orange and sharp. The bird had a tail like a Turkey and the neck of a snake. Characteristics such as a long beak (for spearing fish) and a long neck (hold its' head above water while swimming) helped me to distinguish the species.
