A peek into the Backyard garden
A view of the trail heading around the corner of the Interpretive Centre and into the BYG (Backyard Garden). The feeder is usually a busy spot at this time of year. Today there were cardinals, downy woodpecker, white-breasted nuthatch, chickadees, and house finches, not to mention both red and grey squirrels, in the few minutes I was there.

Rudbeckia seedhead
All the tall plants on side of the building, the grey-headed coneflowers, the various sunflowers, and so forth, are relished by birds and squirrels. Many of the seeds have long since been eaten, but some remain still.

Bridge work
Work continues on the bridge over the Amphibian Pond. This time it is to install the ramps on either end. A generator was running above the pond and I'm quite sure the beaver was not impressed by this activity.
