Many
people have commented on the diverse plant life on the acreage, including
wildflowers all over and large trees on the periphery and smaller, typical
water-tolerant trees in the drainage that runs from north to south in the
center of the parcel. The diverse vegetation, especially the understory
vegetation in the central drainage, provides excellent spring and early
summer nesting sites for numerous species of song birds. In fall, winter
and spring, many migrating species visit the area because of the wide variety
of seeds that remain on the land all year long. |
