Joder Ranch Trail and Buckingham Park - February 16, 2023
Weather: sunny skies, fresh snow (snowed yesterday), slight wind, around 27 degrees F
We began our trip at Buckingham Park. Took a short stroll to the stream and did not find many any plants or animals that stood out.
We then walked throughout Joder Ranch Trail. There was a fair amount of snow covering the ground, though there were not many animal tracks to be found. Throughout the trail we spotted pine trees, yucca plants, aster plants, cacti, and different grasses. Near the end of the trail we spotted two different types of lichen on large rocks. We saw many different animals but I was unable to get pictures of them. We saw a red fox and were even able to see its den. The birds we saw were magpies, chickadees, and robins. There were plenty of deer around.
