Shaver's Creek Environmental Center

Finally writing my first post! I went out last week to take pictures on Shaver's Creek Environmental Center property and here are some of my captures.

 Above is the Sugar Shack, where Shaver's Creek makes their maple syrup! We took the Lake Trail. The lake and creek were partially frozen over.

 

 Continuing down the trail, we saw the ice melting and the wind blowing the snow off the trees.

Morgan took some really neat pictures of the mushrooms on this tree!

We decided to cross the lake, but it was not completely frozen over, so we had to take a detour.

The detour led us up a steep hill and back near the Center.

There was a project going on that day, which Morgan and I had both been involved in, to burn the ash trees affected by an invasive beetle.

Afterwards, we stopped by the feeders to take pictures of a few birds before ending our day.

I got a few shots of a black capped chickadee and a pine siskin. More pictures to come! The next sequence will be some photos I took during the Winter Raptor Survey!
