Location: The area around the Hansee, McMahon, and McCarty residence halls and the UW Power Plant that I have explored in previous outings for species.

Route: From Hansee Hall's main entrance, turn left on the path and head towards the stairs to McCarty. Continue down the street and walk around past McMahon towards the Hall Health building and Loew Hall. The Madrone is located behind Loew Hall and the other plants can be found along this route.

Weather: About 30% cloud cover today with temperatures at 64 degrees Fahrenheit for most of the time I spent looking for species. There was a slight breeze.

For habitat, vegetation, and general comments on this area that I have explored in prior journal entries, see the journals for March 27 and March 30, 2012.

I will continue to take observations from this area in the future because it is so full of diverse species despite its rather urban location.

Species List:
Madrone (Arbutus menziesii)
Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora)
Mountain dogwood (Cornus nuttalii)
Two trees (one conifer and one deciduous) and a coniferous shrub that I have not yet been able to identify.

Found this tree on UW campus. Identified it as a dogwood. It has simple opposite leaves, and, what appear to be flowers are actually showy yellowish bracts beneath the cluster of inconspicuous tiny greenish flowers. Just starting to bloom. Hardly any leaves at this time.

Found this shrub on UW campus along a sidewalk. The needles on the branches look like the needles on a red cedar.

Found this tree on UW campus. I thought it was an interesting conifer because its branches are very twisty and windy with sparse needles.
