1st Journal Assignment

February 4th 2020
I was walking along the trail by Austin High school with my dog and son. It was around 5:30 in the afternoon, in the low 50's with some wind chills. During the walk, I spotted 4 ducks and two swans. I was only able to get three decent pictures to upload though. I'm still new and learning how to get a hang of using the seek app. After I uploaded the pictures, I learned that ducks was considered domestic. And that it was most likely brought to the lake, since duck and swan are usually use to make the lake “look good”. Being in Zoology definitely open my eye to be aware of my surrounding and be able to identify thing I never thought I would pay attention to.
