First, my group went to the tree tour, which detailed different types of trees on campus. We went to each station and detailed each type of tree, which I wrote down in the notes section for each tree. Each tree we looked at had a different connection to the PNW and to the campus, even though most of them were not native to the area, the species were well adapted to the environment and are not invasive or harmful.
I then went on the mosses and lichens tour, and started with identifying mosses on the Burke Gilman, and then learning about the life-cycle of mosses near the UW farm. We then trekked up to the area near Pacar to identify lichen, which were all on one tree near the road heading towards Kane past the Burke museum.
On the way, I also identified the lupines near the fisheries building, and a Northern Flicker between the road near the Burke and Kane. I needed help identifying the bird, since the picture I took is not good enough to use in a field guide identification, and it didn't look like any type of bird we had seen previously on campus or on the field trips.
