Observation Oct 9

Weather: cloudy
Time: 1100-1120 hours
Location: Sparks Field

I went down to the Sparks field today to see if I could find any sort of wildlife that lived on the field. However, all I found was the grass that naturally grew on the field. It seems that all of the animals around here tend to avoid any areas where there are consistently large groupings of people. Of course, this makes sense, but I was thinking at least birds would come around to these places where people congregate. This makes the hazard of human expansion encroaching on the natural habitat of animals abundantly clear. We need to protect places like Bush park and Minto Brown park from the expansion of humans.
