This shy deer was munching on grass when Reed walked closer than expected. The doe and managing editor contemplated each other for several seconds before the deer wandered away with two other family members.
Colorful flowers are springing forth amidst the grass, on bushes and along tree branches. Some of those blossoms have begun transforming into leaves that will remain through the summer months.
Small turtles can often be found sunning themselves in the pond near the start of Buck Creek’s walking trail located off Burlingame Avenue.
Growths of fungus called shelf or bracket fungi, related to puffballs and mushrooms, can be found adorning some nature preserve tree trunks.
A group of adult geese ushered their goslings around the nature preserve while side-eyeing Reed to make sure the managing editor did not wander too close.
