Habitats

Last week we started to study different habitats in Georgia. We studied the mountains and the Piedmont (which is where you live). I'd like you to think about the plants and animals you can see around your house and in your post, I'd like you to describe your habitat. In other words, what do you see in your yard?

Here's an example:

As I look out the window on my back porch, I can hear a cardinal singing in the wisteria that is growing wildly on the arbor. The fish in the pond are swimming slowly under the current of the waterfall. The gray squirrels and chipmunks are scurrying under the lower branches of the azaleas trying to find small seeds dropped from the bird feeders. A ruby-throated hummingbird catches my eye as it flies quickly from the deep-red flowers on the trumpet vine to the lilac petals of the water hyacinth on the pond. The dogwood and cherry trees provide shade to the thrashers and wrens searching for more seeds.

We have many mosquitoes in our backyard. They bite me all the time, non-stop and I never get a break unless I don't go out. They live on my skin and they itch.

When I look outside I see chipmunks collecting seed for the winter. Squirrels are chasing each other in the oak tree. Birds are sitting on the dogwood tree and singing. Molly the cat chases the chipmunks, squirrels and birds. ZS
