For this nature walk assignment, we were directed to find five separate vertebrae species in an environment near us. For this nature walk, I decided to explore Edmands Park on Newton Campus in hopes of finding some vertebrae to observe. Though the effort was not as easy as anticipated. Possibly due to the cold weather, most larger vertebrae are mostly stationary and conserve energy during the winter, thus making them hard to find. It was actually snowing while I was on my nature walk, possibly causing smaller vertebrae such as birds to remain stationary. After about half an hour of searching all the photographs I had captured were a couple photos of some squirrels and a photo of a flock of wild turkey. After a mostly fruitless effort, I decided to continue exploring the Newton Campus in the virtual realm. I took a deep dive into my camera roll for when I'd taken photos of other vertebrae species in the Newton area. I found a couple interesting photos of diverse species of vertebrae that I'd taken over my first three months here. I added a photograph of a raccoon that I had seen, in addition to a bird of prey and a photograph of a baby rabbit. After adding all of these photos into a journal, I believe that I have properly documented and explored the vertebrae diversity of Boston College's Newton Campus.
