Trees In The Quad- Jamie Kolcz, Rima Alsammarae

For this assignment we looked at the trees in the quad. While we were walking through the quad we noticed that there are many different physical characteristics of different species living in the trees. On some of the trees there were birds nests in the branches. On the trunk of the trees there were some scratches that looked like little bugs were inside the bark and trying to eat their way through the bark. On the trunk there was also some bark missing. That might be from the bugs eating their way through and the bark had fallen right off of the tree. Some of the leaves had little holes in them looking like little bugs or caterpillars were trying to eat them. When we looked up into the branches at one point we saw some birds. We can account for at least 2 or 3 species that were living in or on this tree.
