Nature Run 09/30

I went on a "nature run" in and around Houghton Garden. It was a beautiful day yesterday, and it was a bit chilly when I went for my run. I saw lots of cool plants and bugs while running through the garden, but I only took photos of things that I only saw once or twice (for the most part). I wanted to grab a picture of the chipmunks I saw a few times running through the forest, but they were too quick for me to do so.

I think I was focused on finding things around the forest that I hadn't seen more than once or twice because I was interested in finding the organisms that were the most sparsely populated within the garden community. While I was running and observing, I was thinking about the different measurements of diversity that could be measured within the Houghton Garden. I think that there is a high amount of species within the community, but (and this is especially relevant for the tree species) I think that there is a relatively low level of species evenness.
