Art Fleming Trail.
67ºF Partly Sunny.

The stream is up at the 1st Bridge. Saw the first aquatic Invertebrate Water Hoglouse Asellus asellus. It was ¼" long. Algae is still growing under the 1st Bridge.


 
Just past the Short-cut Bridge new plant life is poking out of the ground.

All is still dormant from Observation point A.

The big Oak is still dormant.

I traced the headwaters of stream at the 2nd Bridge to runoff from the hill at the north parking lot by the Ball fields.

I traced the headwaters of the stream at the 4th Bridge to a storm drain.
 

I could not go further up the trail because it was too wet.

I observed the following:
1 Eastern Cottontail Rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus)
1 Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) - Calling for a mate
1 Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) - Circling overhead
2 Robins (Tardus migratorius)
1 House Sparrow (Passer domesticus)
