Daily Bucket: A Walk in Abercrombie Park [1]

The Daily Bucket is a regular series from the Backyard Science group. Here we talk about Mother Nature in all her glory, especially the parts that live nearby. So let us know (as close as you are comfortable) where you are and what's going on around you. What's the weather like? Seen any interesting plants, bugs or critters? Are there birds at your feeders? Deer, foxes or snakies in your yard? Seen any cool rocks or geological features? Post your observations and notes here. And photos. We like photos. :)
Abercrombie Park in St Pete FL is another of the very nice network of parks and nature preserves in Pinellas County. Located within walking distance of the local mall, it protects the site of a Tocobaga Native American mound center that was here at the time of Spanish contact. It also has a short boardwalk for wildlife viewing.
Some photos from a recent visit.
It’s right in the middle of town and is not very big, but is a nice park
