Daily Bucket: A Walk at Round Lake Park, St Pete FL [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. :)
This is another very small park in the middle of downtown St Pete. I used to live just a few blocks from here and this was one of my favorite places to hang out. There are always some critters and birdies around.

And now it is your turn: what’s up in your neck of the woods?
