Field near the IMA at the UW Seattle

Our class went out into the field near the Urban Horticultural Center to study the local fauna, where I observed many different types of low growing plants, insects and bird populations. There were many different kinds of fungi and mushrooms, as well as dragonflies around the ponds and cattails. Their were robins, crows, seagulls and song sparrows, as well as great blue herons and other bird species that I couldn't readily identify.
The weather was cold and windy, with total cloud cover and light precipitation later in the afternoon. We were there from 1:30-3:30 pm, learning how to sketch the local flora and fauna and better describe the descriptive features of these plants.
